You'll need to mark your connection as metered in NetworkManager assuming you're using that as a connection manager.

I'm not sure if apt queries that metered status though.

Hello Debian Users,

In Android (Google Play), when a user is about to download application which its size is over 100 MB, a message is
displayed whether the application is about to be downloaded only via Wi-Fi or continue using mobile data.

How can I configure the similar feature on apt, that is when user tried to install or upgrade packages, alert whether 
the download should continue only via Wi-Fi if the total download size is over 100 MB?

Regards, Bagas
