# Change the assigned data allowance

> How to change the assigned data allowance via the emnify Portal

Data plans and the associated allowances are managed within [coverage policies](/portal/device-policies#coverage-policies).

With the **Pro Package**, you can manage up to 6 data plans.
Those with a **Plus Package** can manage up to 4 data plans.

Once a data plan has been configured on your emnify account, make sure your coverage policies have been adjusted correctly to take advantage of data allowances.

## View your coverage policies

[Log in to your emnify account](https://portal.emnify.com/sign).

Navigate to **Device Policies**, then scroll to [**Coverage Policies**](https://portal.emnify.com/device-policies#coverage-policies).

Adjust your existing policies under **Details** or select **New coverage policy** to create a new one.

> **Note**
>
> Once configured, you need to add a data allowance for your coverage policies to use them with devices.

## Change the data allowance

If you notice that one of your devices uses more (or less) data than expected, you can update its assigned data allowance any time during the month.

> **Info**
>
> Any changes are reflected on your invoice within a few hours.

### Individual device

Navigate to your [**Connected Devices**](https://portal.emnify.com/connected-devices).

Decide which device you want to adjust and click anywhere on the table row to open the device details.

Find your device's **Coverage policy** information under the **Devices** section of the **General** tab.

Click **Edit** and select the coverage policy with the corresponding data allowance you want the device to use.

In the preceding example, the two selected devices (**Walking Mobile** and **TravelSpot**) are assigned to **New coverage policy**.

## Change the data plan

You can also change the coverage (for example, switching from **Americas** to **APAC**) anytime during the month.
