I'm having trouble with picking the right word for this.
Be king? Be understanding? Keep in mind that?
Sentence:
''Tas sempre ligado a net.''
''Da desconto, fiquei um mes off.''
Cheers!

Don't be hard/ have pity on me
É quase - quase - a mesma coisa que dizer "give me a break, give it a rest, etc" conforme sugerido pelos colegas, uma sugestão. Interpreto o "dar um desconto" como um apelo mais "humilde", com um tom mais de "misericórdia, tenha pena de mim, eu passei um mês sem me conectar".
