I haven't been tethering for the past two days yet the data usage is very high. I used it for a few days last week and can't have used more than 500mb and did switch it off when not using

Can anyone help explain why it is so high? I have 15gb to use. Does the data limit I set apply to tethering? Will I still get the warnings I've set

It's now 5.66gb and I connected for thirty minutes during lunch. I didn't download anything only browsed in that time yet it's so high

I would think that your data usage rate would be tied to the Android to Google functions.

How so?

Do you have auto update disabled on the PlayStore? Also, if tethering to a computer, I would be concerned about whether *it* might be auto updating.

During my first month that in November I tethered ALOT. I got warnings all the the time.

I'm now on an 8GB plan so I have to restrict apps.

I've also found uninstalling Facebook not only reduces the amount of data used but it increases performance on the phone. I only use Facebook in Chrome and I still get notifications through the browser. You can see Removed Apps used to be Facebook.

Windows 10 will run a LOT of data unless you have shut off the tiles, Cortana and the rest of the "always-in your face" spyware-generating things. If you do, then the usage is reasonable. If not, well....

I don't know what you're tethering TO, but it's the device on the other end, not the phone that's causing this.

I've been connecting to my iPhone and iPod touch. It's now at 9gb + but I haven't even used it since yestetday. So its increasing without me having mobile hotspot turned on
