Usage Buckets are configured in Settings / Usage Rating / Bucket & Share Plans / Share Plans

Overview

Share plans provide a fixed or variable pool of usage which can be utilized by specified services (devices). Before a share plan can be activated it must have at least one share plan bucket configured under it. Share plan buckets determine the type of usage that will be shared (data, messaging, airtime, etc.) and other usage contribution, usage consumption, and usage tiering options. Multiple buckets can be configured under a share plan allowing you to share various classes of usage all in one plan.
