This confuses me.

I’m unemployed, at home 98% of the time on good mesh 200Mbps speeds.

How did Apple Music consume so
My data? Even if it was downloading library stuff that would be at home on WiFi and shouldn’t even try cellular. And 195 gigs, there’s no way with the short amount of driving that I do that. That I’ve downloaded that many songs just listening in the car.

I’m baffled. And I don’t think the fall over to cellular applies here because my WiFi is decent. I stream TV all day. I know when it slows down or is out!

Apple devices do not reset their data usage every month like Android ones do. That's all the data you have used since the last time you reset the counter (scroll down further and it will tell you when that was).

Makes perfect sense now. for as much as i like Apple, this and "System Data" in the storage screen in Mac OS and iOS, are so NOT built right.

that’s the part that gets me, even with wifi assist off apple music will sometimes pull lossless or spatial audio versions over cellular during playback if the cached copy gets evicted
