My current quota, according to the machine-readable friendly service at https://quota.aa.net/, is 4.081 TB. That is total, not per-line, I assume, but I don’t know. I have three ADSL2 lines and somehow AA has just done the sane thing and set the system up to share the quota between the lines. This new tariff is brilliant as the old ‘units’ one I have been using for eleven years was very very expensive in the daytime 0900-1800 Mon-Fri and now the usage is time-independent.

I'd imagine as the lines are bonded its likely easier to monitor the usage combined.

Ixel:
When I used to have bonded VDSL2/FTTC from them they balanced my quota between the two lines if one would become low (automatically), but having it just as one figure is an even simpler approach. I would've switched back to AAISP, after my year of FTTPoD, had the offered package speeds not been low. However, that's no longer an option now anyway as a local ISP appears to be almost ready to go live in my street. Hooray! :)

This is what they say about bonded lines and quotas ...

--- Quote ---It is possible to have multiple Home::1 lines on the same login. Each must have a monthly quota which can be changed independently. The lines can be used to bond uplink and downlink, or can be used as a fall-back arrangement. If a line runs out of quota then there is a balancing process for the quota remaining on the other lines. Only once all of the quota on all of the broadband lines at the site has run out does the normal action for auto-top-up take place.

I thought they used to explicitly say that bonded lines could have different quotas, but I guess that's still implied in the current wording.

I think you're misunderstanding what we mean.

Yes the two lines can probably be on different packages, but the quotas are added together.  This is necessary seeing as by its nature bonded lines will use all lines equally, so it wouldn't work if you counted the quotas independently.
