Why limit data consumption in MKController?
- Excessive use prevention – Control bandwidth usage and prevent a single user from negatively impacting the experience of others.
- Cost reduction – Maximize infrastructure efficiency by using resources in a balanced way.
- Fair experience for users – Ensure that everyone has access to a proportional share of the available bandwidth.
- Simple and efficient management – Monitor data consumption in real time with detailed and accurate reports.
- Additional revenue – Allows your partners to sell access to the system in locations with low signal coverage.
- Data consumption also enables satellite projects where costs are linked to consumption, such as Viasat, Starlink, Globalstar, Hugh, and others.
Next, we will show you how to configure the data limit on vouchers on the MKController platform, optimizing your network management in a simple and practical way.
Before proceeding with the configurations, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
- MikroTik integrated with MKController – Ensure that your MikroTik is already integrated with the MKController platform. If you have not yet performed this integration, follow the steps described in the article “Make Mikrotik Remote Access Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide with MKController.”
- Hotspot configuration and voucher generation – Verify that the Hotspot has been properly configured and the vouchers have been generated. If you have not yet performed this procedure, consult the article “MKController: The Ideal Solution for Your Hotspot with Voucher.”

Click Create to finish the configuration.
Track Data Limit Mikrotik Vouchers consumption in real time
In the Real Time menu, you can monitor the usage of each voucher in the Data Usage column, which displays the total volume of data consumed (upload and download) by each connection.
Understand how the data limit works
The data limit corresponds to the total sum of upload and download used during each voucher’s connection. This approach guarantees total control over the consumption of your network resources.
Conclusion
Configuring data limits on vouchers with MKController is a practical solution for those seeking efficiency in network management. In addition to ensuring control and cost savings, this functionality provides a fair and quality experience for all users. Start now and maximize your network performance!
