Bandwidth usage tracking.

ChaosSecoh · Mar 29, 2020

I am using a xbox one x, dont know it it matters but project scorpio edition. I go into bandwidth usage after downloading a game and the numbers are not matching up.

I use this feature to track data use due to a monthly cap by internet provider.

On my roommates xbox one, the data is tracking just fine. it has been this way for about 6 months now and had hoped and update would fix.

Just wanting to know if this happened to anyone els? And/or Is there a fix?

This was occurring with older versions of the XBOX OS but has been resolved with the last couple of ASA Insider preview builds. If you are in Insiders it should be fixed as the update is released to the various rings, or hopefully, the next General Availability
release.

After starting a Google sheet to track this issue...I see now that the issue is more complicated than what appeared to be just a simple divide by 100 error based on game updates once I started examining the differences over time compared to the activities
that I did on my console yesterday/today:

Play Destiny 2 - usage is ca 1.76x less than actual
Watch Netflix - usage is ca 79x less than actual
Watch YouTube - usage varied from ca 52 to 111x less than actual
Xbox Speedtest - usage is ca 16x less than actual
Play PUBG - usage is ca 5.7x less than actual
idle (at dashboard, in settings) - usage is ca 1.75x less than actual
Game updates - usage is ca 99x less than actual

I'm going to continue tracking different activities with each new Dashboard release to see if/when there is any improvement in tracked bandwidth usage.

My usage for November overall was ca 30x less than actual. So far for December it's ca 20x less than actual. If you need to know how much bandwidth you are using then I recommend using a router that includes that kind of tracking given that the Xbox console
is now totally inaccurate for that purpose.

"off" as in 'Energy-saving' power mode, or "off" as in sleep mode ('Instant-on' power mode)?

@DIYoung.

Your console has probably automatically downloaded another update for Master Chief that you didn't know about.

If you have a metered connection I highly recommend you switch the console to energy saving mode.

In energy saving the console takes longer to boot up but it doesn't have automatic updates. This gives you more control in how much bandwidth you are using.
