1. A transmission rate management method, applied to a transmission rate management device, comprising:
calculating a total available data traffic of the transmission rate management device based on a data plan for the transmission rate management device, wherein the total available data traffic corresponds to a period of time;
allocating to each of one or more client devices currently connected to the transmission rate management device one available data traffic corresponding to the period of time according to the total available data traffic;
adjusting a transmission rate of a client device of the one or more client devices based on a remaining data traffic of the available data traffic of the client device;
monitoring if a connection status of the one or more client devices change during the period of time;
based on a third monitoring result indicating the connection status of the one or more client devices change, re-calculating an updated total available data traffic corresponding to the period of time of the transmission rate management device according to a sum of remaining data traffic of the available data traffic of the one or more client devices; and
re-allocating to each client device currently connected to the transmission rate management device one updated available data traffic corresponding to the period of time according to the updated total available data traffic.
