Daily data plans give you a fresh fixed allowance, usually 1GB to 3GB, every 24 hours, with leftover data expiring at midnight. Total data plans give you one large bucket, like 50GB, usable at any time during the validity period at your own pace.
How Does Daily Data Work?
A daily data plan resets at midnight each day. If your plan offers 1.5GB per day, you can use up to 1.5GB at full speed every 24 hours, with the unused portion not rolling over. This works well for users with steady daily consumption needs.

How Does Total Data Work?
A total data plan gives you the full quota up front to use across the entire validity. For example, a 50GB total data plan over 28 days lets you binge stream a series in one weekend and use almost nothing the next week without losing anything.
