So I bought an off-peak uncapped data bundle from Telkom about a couple weeks ago or so and today I bought a 3GB anytime + 3GB Night Surfer data from them; to be used for when my off-peak uncapped data bundle eventually runs out. I've noticed that when using data during the period when the offpeak uncapped bundle is supposed to be active (between 00:00 - 19:00) it still seems to be using of the anytime/night surfer data that I bought earlier today.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable or prevent my anytime/night surfer data from being used instead of the off-peak uncapped data which is supposed to be used within the stipulated period?

Update: So it used up my Night Surfer Data and only now is using the uncapped data, looks like my anytime data is safe from being wasted at least

Maybe it's just the way they have set the rules up, based on their expectation of what (other) users want.
Buying a bundle on top of the uncapped means that the user wants to have 3GB data at full speed.
 
I see, it would be more convenient if we could actually have control over which bundles are used/prioritized but it seems not to be the case unfortunately.

Agreed, that would be nice.

16. If the customer on *Unlimited Off-Peak hours decides to top up/purchase his wallet with normal LTE/LTE-
A Once-off data bundles that don’t have speed restrictions, e.g., 10GB+10GB*, the normal Anytime data
bundles will only be consumed between 19:01pm and 23:59pm.

Thing is the night data is being used during the time when the *Unlimited off-peak hours bundle is supposed to be active.

It's prioritised according to time-based systems.

Bundles which expire quicker are used first. Uncapped is used before expiring bundles though.

In my case the night-data was used during the period the *unlimited off-peak hours bundle was active but the anytime data is untouched during the time the uncapped bandle is active.
