The computer was used off and on this morning. No browsers are ever left open. When I returned to the computer it should have been around 80%. I opened Google Chrome and went straight to Hughenet community to check in. That is when I noticed I was at 65%. While I was trying to post a comment it dropped to 46%. The modem was plugged into the router. I do have an Iphone that was connected to wifi, again, I was not using the phone. I never have issues with my cell data getting anywhere near going over. My phone is not set to get push notifications or update without permission.
As you can see Glasswire said I had used 188.9 MB and my Hughesnet meter said I had used 263. That leaves 74.1 MB that went somewhere, I believe faster than I can download from Hughsnet on a normal day. I took the screenshot to show the difference. I have not had the chance to unplug from the router and use my computer for an hour.
I am not using Ad Blocker Pro. I did go to Google Chrome's advanced settings and uncheck the box that said "continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed. But that is not where the 74.1 MB went because it would have shown up on Glasswire.
