Hi corill, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Most likely, you've activated a promotional offer on your account, which should expire in six month or a year after it was added on. Usually 100 GB is given to new owners of a laptop device by certain manufacturers.

 

You can confirm the quota granted by checking this page.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
