@satkinson There is a fluctuating 5.293MB of data that shows up in selve serve that doesn't represent actual data use. Over time, that 5.293MB gets returned.

Just wondering, why they didn't fix this bug?

I'm not sure it _is_ a bug. One might think of it as a look ahead window. Consume 5mb and it will grab another 5mb. etc. Finish your session of consuming data and (I think) overnight it will reset back down to your actual consumption of that last window.

@Tony_Xu Toggling airplane mode on and off will also reset any extraneous data counted from MMS as well
