Live Feed Daily Limit?

[St☰v☰]

So I was sitting at home and my wife had taken the 3 to the store. For kicks I turned on the live feed to check out the view around the car. I set the phone down and got busy with something else. After a few minutes, the app buzzed and told me that I had exceeded the daily limit of live feed. In checking the latest on-line manual, I'm not seeing anything about such a limit. Anyone else experienced this limitation?

...exceeded the daily limit of live feed...

Interesting. I guess due to the car's cellular bandwidth, they put a cap on it. Otherwise, if you use wifi, there seems not to be one.

What's your car's status on Premium Connectivity? Do you have it or it's not included and you are not paying for it?

Never seen a cap before and I do have premium connectivity.

When the feature was leaked it was mentioned there was a daily limit, explicitly to prevent your situation:

Limitations / Daily Limit​

Tesla will impose a daily viewing limit on how long you can remotely monitor your vehicle with video. This is likely to prevent users from live streaming video for long periods of time. For example, if they went out to dinner, started a live stream and set their phone down.

I suspect the daily limit will be more than reasonable and you'll be unlikely to reach the limit unless you're trying to use your car as a security camera.

Tesla software update 2021.40 to add 'Live Camera Streaming'

Someone testing when it came out said it was around 90 minutes:
Tesla Sentry Mode Live Camera View Limited to 90 Minutes Per Day - TeslaNorth.com

Thanks for the info. Perhaps the 90 minutes was an initial target. I can say for certain that I had it open for 10 minutes, 12 tops. But hey, I'll watch it more closely going forward.

Also, Happy Anniversary everyone!! May 2022 be better than 2021 was!!

Does Sentry Mode have to still be enabled in order to view live?
