Sixfab data usage

Sixfab Connect
, ,
1

Hi

I am using the Sixfab hat with a raspberry pi to transmit data periodically. I estimated the daily data usage to a fraction of a mb, but i keep seeing 5-7 mb daily usage in the connect dashboard.

I had a look at nethogs and it seems that what is using the data is the sixfab service.
I assume it is the cloud connect connectivity that is causing this.

Is this data usage normal and is there a way to reduce this?

Hello @remote

Could you please share the ICCID of the device that you are testing?
5-7MB is generally not expected unless the device keeps on disconnecting a lot.
Could you please share your nethogs results too?
