    What are you doing? Why is there so much data usage while on idle?


    Series X. Under the Alpha ring.

    I have "power saving" mode on (should be a full shutdown) Console and game updates off. Remote features off. Captures never auto upload. (Usually do my firmware updates manually on boot.)

    I turn the Xbox on and go to the network settings. 16gb of data usage in the last hour. (And it always happening; 20gb here, another 5gb there. Same goes for just booting the console up i am downloading 500mb of ads every 30min. I have a small friends list so how much info am I really receiving from them) One would think in your venture in going "green" it wouldn't be pushed onto the customer. If I go on my router and start trying to log/sniff the time and connections being established. Connect my Xbox to a meter what would it show me.

    PG&E bill is not getting cheaper. And xfinity has a monthly data cap.


    What is going on? You farming, using consoles as slaves. What is Microsoft doing? Are data usage/logs really weigh that much? Never seen that to be the case.

    Hotspot data usage

    Maybe you could give us an hint of how much mobile data usage you can access on a monthly basis, before your usage is being capped/shaped/downgraded?

    How much mobile data usage do you normally have on a monthly basis (hotspot/sharing excluded)?

    Xbox One Idle Data Usage

    Hey there Asialsky,

    It's hard to really speculate on what's causing the data really. It could be anything from the adverts to your friends list status or the activity feed. What we'd suggest though, is if you're not using the console offline and are on a bandwidth budget. Using
    the console in
    Offline Mode     could greatly help keep things in check. Hope that helps!

    Xb1 data usage has increased while idle on single player games, why?

    so, maybe I have not been hard resetting my console properly. I've been pulling the power cord from the brick and not at the rear of the console. Or they fixed it as its back to normal now. I've played DMC while online today for over an hour while going
    from 13 - 15 megabytes. Where as before it was using almost 3MB a minute. Thanks
