UTM 9 How to restrict bandwidth to save data quota

Question

Hi All. 
 I'm new to this forum. I have installed UTM 9 to a Mini PC with an atom 1.8 processor with 4 GB memory and looks it's ok. please let me know the best spect for the UTM 9 home version which is installed on a Desktop. 
 My question is how can I restrict the bandwidth usage via this UTM 9. i have 50GB quota from my ISP and my kids are watching youtube kids for 2-4 hours daily and in most of the cases, the quota will be finished before and month end. 
 I have already configured QOS on this and select 64Kb on bandwidth throttling. but it seems not a correct method. can someone help me to do this, please 
 
 Thank you

Hello Chirath, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community! 
 For youtube try the following: 
 1.- Go to Interfaces & Routing >> QoS >> Status, and enable for your LAN and WAN interface (for LAN I mean the Port where the computer is connecting from) 
 2.- G to traffic selectors >> New Traffic Selector >> Name = Youtube, Selector type = Application Selector, Source = Any, Destination = Any, Control by = Applications >> Control this applications (click on the yellow folder and search for Youtube) >> Save 
 3.- Go to Download Throttling >> New download throttling Name = Youtube_throttling, Interface, LAN would be grayed out, Postion = Top, Limit, set the limit on kbit/s Limit, = shared >> Traffic Selector = Youtube. >> Save. 
 You can complement this, by also using quotas and only allow youtube for X amount of hours a day or from specific times of the day!
