Help with a logical consequence

Edit: She's 14

We have a No Electronics In Rooms rule. This is well established and discussed.

I put her to bed, then a few minutes later realized her laptop wasn't plugged in. I found her with it in her bed, video chatting with her best friend muted and using the chat feature.

I took it, told her to go to sleep, and that we would discuss it in the morning.

When I logged off with her best friend, I could see their chat and call history. She has done this several times in the last few months.

We've never had any reason not to trust her and is a straight-A, responsible kid, so this was a shock.

We gentle parent and always focus on natural consequences, but since not only has she done this a lot, but it was always her idea, a consequence is needed.

But what? No electronics for the rest of the weekend?
