All data used too quickly

dillpickles — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 17:36:53 GMT

My plan allows for 250 mb of data. I know it's a small amount but it has worked for us for a couple of years.

On my recent renewal, March 6, all my data was used up between midnight and 12:12 am. In 12 minutes!

While I was asleep!

What might I have done to cause this?

@dillpickles Maybe you had a rogue app in the background updating . But PM updates is data usage 2x a day so what you see as entry for when your sleeping was from the prior 12 hours usage

I can burn through 250MB about as quickly as I can sneeze. It may have worked in past, but all it takes is some app downloading something in the background.

Also you can't rely on those time stamps, as data usage gets bundled and posted to the log twice a day.
