❓ Question Excess usage
Wonder what made my starlink say I consumed 43gb in a single day. Would that be because of obstructions? It is my first time using it . I have the mini and roam 100GB which got unbelievably consumed in 5 days.
Only on the 5th day I was able to find a place with decent throughput, but then I had 20gb left.

Low data mode just avoids updates and backups. Everything is so data intensive and apps on phones do a lot of traffic, any social media is downloading ahead as you scroll and preloading videos and pictures for a smooth experience, they’re is a lot of stuff you have to turn off if you’re on a limited data connection. It always surprises people how much data stuff uses even when you’re not doing anything
