Description

Implementing offline maps has gone pretty smoothly. However, I'm wondering if there is a reason the SDK doesn't expose a method that provides tile pack usage.

It's my understanding that each user is limited to 750 tile packs. I also understand that when a new region is loaded, but the tile pack limit is already reached, the new region will fail to download. I would like to be able to show users how much offline mapping they have used / is available.

Is this a reasonable request? Or am I thinking about this all wrong?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SDK's existing offline maps and tile pack APIs to determine whether tile pack usage and availability are exposed. The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation entry point; done would require a decided API design and a way for users to inspect used and available tile packs.
