When you reset your statistics of your cellular data, will it reset how much data you still have left? Or will it just change the number of data and you would still have so much left?

I accidentally reset my statistics on my phone, and I read some q&a's about it, but I still don't know if when you reset it if it will reset how much data you still have left. What I mean is if you have 10 GB altogether, and you have used 4GB, would resetting the data make it to where you have 10 GB again? Or even if you reset, would you still have the 6GB left?

iPhone 4, iOS 9.0.1

If you have 6GB left on your cellular plan, you would still have that much left no matter what you do with the statistics. The statistics are just a running count of how much data you have used since the last time you reset it. If you don't reset it, the number will just continue to grow and as months go by may far exceed whatever your monthly plan has. It doesn't know what your plan limit is. I used to have a reminder in my calendar to reset it each month on the same day as my plan renewed, just so I could keep the two in sync.
