According to this youtube video, there are some terms and conditions which are shown only in the Airtel app, by which
- If Airtel thinks it is being used for commercial purposes, they can restrict the "unlimited 5G"
- If the data transferred exceeds 300 GB in a month, they can consider it "commercial"
- Tethered use of 5G data - using a mobile hotspot - is not included in the "unlimited 5G"
And one of the comments in that video pointed out that the reason why at some times the 4G data cap gets used up even though 5G is displayed in the status area on the top right of Android phones, is because of Airtel's use of 4G infrastructure to deliver 5G - in which case, the 4G billing gets used. And apparently, the difference can be noticed on Samsung phones with the 5G logo which is displayed.
It seems 5G with a white background = true 5G.
And 5G with white text = 4G masquerading as 5G.
And this seems to be confirmed by this page,
