Bandwidth usage

"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.

If you are using instant on mode the console could be downloading updates while switched off.

Also I've noticed my console using over 100MB an hour playing destiny. Could Warframe use similar bandwidth?

I haven't even been using the system at all. Its been turned off with Instant On available. I told it not to download the patch for my only game (Master Chief Collection). I came back a week later and it had downloaded the patch anyway (20gb). A week
after that it had a mysterious 10gb usage spike on it again. I have a 60gb bandwidth cap and I barely use the console. Support told me.. "Yeah it does that, overrides your commands even though you told it not to download. Sorry about that, nothing we
can do about it and nothing we will give you as compensation"
