Xbox app using over a terabyte of data per day, not doing anything visibly.

it is a similar glitch on the actual console too, it should read megabytes not terabytes. and any tools checking show what the app is reporting. you would also be hard pushed to down 3tb over wifi during a day.

plus the xbox app does not actually download anything, the microsoft store does all the downloading in the background, the xbox app is just a front to that.

if your internet data usage is getting its usage reports from your pc then that is a lame way for the isp to monitor usage. i have had this same glitch witht he xbox app and the same thing on console, and in the end i just ignore it, but obviously you can't because your ISP thinks you are usning more data than you actually are.

only options i would try is reset the xbox app and store app and then check, or when not in use sign out of the xbox app.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Lpsterling

Sorry to hear that mate, I don't think this is normal unless Xbox app is downloading game updates from the background (but even with that, this is not normal) I can advise you first limit the actual wifi network

Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks. Select the Wi-Fi network > Properties > turn on Set as metered connection.

If you prefer, we can try troubleshoot your own windows system in case the metered connection is not working properly

I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user

It's extremely easy to earn about 20000 points per month with about 5-10 mins of work per day at least in united states.

Browser searches rewards (170 points)

You get 150 for bing pc searches per day

20 for edge browser per day (skip if you want)

For these you can just click the trending searches, it's much faster than typing searches

Bing mobile app rewards (60+ points)

100 for mobile searches

30 for clicking 10 news articles per day

30 ish points for daily sets

Xbox mobile app (165-185 points)

100 for loading pc game per day (redeem on xbox mobile app)

60 for beating 1 level on ms jewel on xbox mobile app

5-25 for daily check in (xbox mobile app)

So you looking at about 500 per day. This is not counting daily streaks, weekly streaks and xbox gamepass quests, which include daily, weekly and monthly quests.

If you include all these you will average around 700 points per day (20000 per month). None of these methods require purchases. I haven't paid for gamepass in over a year using this method

Gamepass ultimate is 10500 if you use auto redeem or 12000 if you do manual redeem.

Not sure if all these ways to earn points are available in all regions
