Replicator rations were an energy-conservation policy instituted on the USS Voyager, limiting the usage of the ship's replicators for each crewmember. The use of rationing for the replicator was a policy that was not consistently implemented; rather, it was done when the ship's available power supplies were limited. When Voyager was able replenish its energy reserves, rationing was discontinued. It was never clearly stated how this policy was implemented or enforced.
