Thankfully most aren't that bad anymore.  We can give a major thanks to Netflix for forcing ISPs to bump up their caps.  1 TB seems to be the cap for most major service providers.

Google 'data caps for each home internet provider' and you'll get several links with lists of providers, their services, their caps and overage charges. 

I prefer this one as it seems to be the most complete and is maintained.

Not sure how much data 4k Stadia will eat up, but 1Tb seems acceptable (I'm theoretically uncapped, but most of the time my connection doesn't deliver the promissed speed). In brazil our law allow they do deliver 10% of the contract for long periods without any issue.

4k Stadia will probably be a problem for anyone with a data cap. Depends how much you play.

4k - 15.75gb per hour   (35mbit)
1080p - 9gb per hour    (20mbit)
720p- 4.5gb per hour    (10mbit)

So 4k would use 1TB of data with 65 hours, 1080p with 113 hours and 720p with 226 hours.

So if you played 2 hours a day, 4k would eat almost all the 1TB cap, 1080p would eat half of it so you could probably get away with that depending how much of your cap you normally use for other things. If someone plays more than 45 hours in a month 4k probably isn't viable if you have a 1TB data cap.
