> it looks like you’ve been predominantly using Fi abroad over the past 3 months

I used my Fi SIM and international roaming continuously outside the US for 13 months over 2020/21 and never received a message like this or had my service cut. Makes me wonder if I just slipped through the cracks in their detection or something.

I just got an email last month booting me off after 22 months continuously abroad with no problems. This coincided with a lot of other people complaining online that they also just got cut. They definitely don't have any "detection" for you to slip through, they just check and enforce this manually occasionally.
