    Xbox updates eating my hotspot


    I have to game on a hotspot so downloads are already pretty limited. Recently every time I’ve had a system update it uses way more data than what it says. My last update was 600mb but ended up using 5gb of my hotspot. I have background downloads and automatic updates turned off so it’s not a game updating in the background.

    :)

    I see, this is odd. Exists the possibility that your Xbox downloaded something else in the background.
    But right now there is no way to enable something like a limited network on Xbox (like Windows) so is not possible to limit or restrict the network use :c

    But that could be a good feature, if you want you can try suggesting this here:

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Natiinky

    Do you have a way to track all the packages downloaded in your mobile phone?
    It’s hard to determine if the Xbox really ended to use all that data. Or if maybe was something else

    I don’t think I have a way to see exactly what is being downloaded but I can see how much is being used and my hotspot is only connected to my Xbox.

    If your Xbox can connect to your Hotspot, the game should download. Do be warned though that if you're using a Mobile Hotspot, downloading games can eat through your data.
