A system for customizing time limits for inmate communications in a correctional facility is disclosed. The system includes a profile subsystem that stores an inmate profile of the inmate and a communication processing subsystem comprising one or more processors configured to receive data of an inmate communication of an inmate, identify a type of communication device of the inmate and a call recipient of the inmate communication based on the data of the inmate communication, retrieve the inmate profile of the inmate form the profile subsystem, identify a plurality of behaviors of the inmate based on the inmate profile, determine a time limit based on at least one of the type of communication device, the call recipient of the inmate communication, and the plurality of behaviors of the inmate, and assign the time limit to the inmate communication of the inmate.

A method performed by an application function, AF, for a communication network, wherein the AF has been informed, in a first notification, about an out-of-credit event associated with a user of a service provided by the AF, the method comprising sending subscription request, to a network function, NF, for requesting notifications about reallocation-of-credit events associated with one or more users of a service provided by the AF; receiving, from the NF, a second notification of a reallocation-of-credit event associated with the user of the service provided by the AF for which the AF has been informed about the out-of-credit event, such that the AF can perform one or more second actions with respect to the service.

Techniques for controlling user data consumption are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a user connection to a network on-board a vehicle, the network being an on-board network; and executing a volume control with credit (VCC) algorithm. Executing the VCC algorithm includes provisioning a data credit for the user connection corresponding to an initial usage estimate, placing the user connection into a first mode, initiating a timer associated with the user connection, and iteratively provisioning additional data credits associated with the user connection based on the timer. Executing the VCC algorithm further includes determining whether the user corresponding to the user connection has consumed data through the on-board network in excess of the data credit and the additional data credits; and responsive to determining that the user has consumed data in excess of the data credit and the additional data credits, placing the user connection into a second mode.
