Depending on your data plan, you might reach your limit just by running Outlook for a couple of hours a day. Note that I hadn’t added any significant amount of data to my mailboxes in months. If you keep Outlook running continuously, you might use up 1 gig of data within a day. Outlook is constantly syncing data even if you don’t send emails or modify entries. In my case, my wondering ended after I monitored my network traffic with NetBalancer. Outlook, for instance, will warn you and will only connect to Exchange if you give your confirmation. You can also configure whether Windows will download new drivers (PC Settings > PC and Devices > Devices) over a metered connection.Ī few applications exist that notice if you are on a metered connection.

For instance, the OneDrive settings enable you to determine what kind of data is synced with the cloud if you are on a metered connection.
