What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    I wonder if a VPN would make any difference? I have tasker set up to kick on wireguard any time I leave my wifi network. They’d only see my WG port.

      It hasn’t made a difference for me, I’m on Verizon if that matters. I’ve got Wireguard set to always on and all traffic but I still get the usage notifications. IIRC there’s a separate apn for any traffic that goes through the hotspot or tethering connection and that’s how it’s monitored. The traffic will be encrypted, but they can still see it.

        Well that sucks. I wonder if there a way around it if you’re rooted
