Have you already gifted or used for yourself at least 100GB data this billing month? If so, you have no more to gift.

You can't! You can't gift more than 100GB if you are on a 4G plan or 120GB on 5G.

There's a Glitch in the EE System as sometimes a few peeps have reported on UL Data Plans being able to Gift up to there FUP amount which is the Full 600gb per month then it seams to correct itself the following month.

 

Normally its either 100 or 120gb (Plan dependent) but as @XRaySpeX correctly points out as you use the UL Data yourself at the start of the month your own Dara use starts to eat into your Gifting Data first so your Giftable Data could easily be exhausted during a latter period of each  Month.
