Thanks @Crystalisa
The Spend Cap does not restrict data pass purchases, both whilst in the UK and roaming.
You can find full details in our How Do I Set Up and Manage Spend Cap? Help page.
To stop any extra data pass charges, please turn off the option to buy more data in the EE app.

Hi @Crystalisa
Thanks for coming here.
What do the extra charges show as on your bill?
Have you added a spend cap?
Also, if you log into the EE app and select Profile, Settings and Permissions, Buy more data, is this set to off?
Leanne 🙂
