Xbox Series S ridiculous bandwidth usage

YellowTails · Mar 17, 2021

Im on a new Series S console and I know we’ve been in lockdown during January and February but i cant belive ive used 24,653.43 TB of data in one month just by playing Warzone. I haven’t changed any settings since getting my xbox and its been on auto update since the day one release date. Does anyone know how on earth ive managed to use that much internet recently?

Very interesting unless a recent update is no longer counting that as bandwidth usage on the Xbox One, and I'm not finding anything particularly detailing a change in Bandwidth counting.

Got the same problem here (Italy). My bandwidth usage does not add up videos (amazon prime video) and even games download from gamepass. I downloaded Lego Worlds (4GB) just to try and my bandwidth usage shows only 236MB. Moreover, I'm installing latest RDR2
patch and the download speed in the bandwidth usage page shows just a few kbit/s whilst shows the correct speed (tens of mbit/s) in the queue tab of my apps&games menu.

Hi Naviv, my name is Oskayra it is my pleasure to answer your question:

If you set the refresh period to 1 day, the Xbox Series X console will collect bandwidth usage data for 24 hours and then update it in the Settings panel. This will allow you to see how your bandwidth has been used over the previous day.

If you want to delete or reset your bandwidth usage for a month, follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Profile & System > Settings.
3. Select System > Updates & Downloads.
4. 4. Select Bandwidth Usage.
5. 5. Select Reset.

This will clear all bandwidth usage data for the current month.

You can also clear or reset the bandwidth usage for a specific game or application. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select My Games and Apps.

3. Select the game or application you want to delete or reset.

4. 4. Select More Options > Game Information.
5. Scroll down to the "Bandwidth Usage" section and select Reset.

This will remove all bandwidth usage data for that game or application.

8 hours in, I'm at 20% at an average bandwidth usage of 0.42 MB/s, when my internet is currently speed testing at 10 MB/s on my computer. Never. PreOrdering. Digital. Again.
