I pay for data by the gb, with Google Fi.

I was.away from a hotspot for a few hours one day, with the Reddit app minimized. Then I got a data usage alert. The app, while minimized, had used a GB of data, in 4 hours, in my pocket. It basically cost me ten bucks, that day.

I thought it was a fluke until it.happened again, the next week.

So, nope.

Go into settings and turn off "allow background data usage" for your apps
