Symptoms

Customer has a Data Limit Profile with the flag Allow Excess Usage enabled.
Documentation says that if the Excess Usage Limit fields are left empty, the grant should be indefinitely.
But we are seeing that once the quota reaches 100% the cnPCRF is sending back the Usage Monitoring Key disabled and no more quota is granted, even if you restart the session.
Please help us to check why is PCF not sending more quota?

Following document mentions that if all the Excess Usage Limit fields are left empty, the grant shall continue indefinitely.
