Problem description

MiB, GiB: I was not familiar with these terms and looked on Internet for explanations: https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/definition/mebibyte-MiB. Question: do we really need the technical precision of the binary system in this API or would the decimal system be enough ? the article states that the binary system is not much used in commercial contexts, so the decimal system might be more developer-friendly". Personally I heve never seen any user data plans expressed in the binary system. If you keep it It would be good to add an explanation and a link to the ISO/IEC definition or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
