This past billing cycle, within 3 weeks, the app has consumed 3.37 GB of data. I still have a week to go before the data counter&nbsp;reset. <STRONG>It has never been this large before.</STRONG> I only listen when I'm driving in the car for maybe an hour a day tops. Can the data usage be this high?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have tried clearing the cache, logging out and back in again, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I only download the songs using Wifi. Cellular download is turned off.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Has there been a change to the app to cause it to download more data?</P> Thu, 03 Aug 2017 00:49:14 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/1797006#M86910 veloblur 2017-08-03T00:49:14Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/1932766#M88522 <P>I've noticed the same. Data consumption has increased as well over mobile data as over wifi, both in my mobile phone. I used to use around 6 GB over wifi and 1.5 over mobile data, and both of them has doubled since two months ago. Wifi is not much a problem (it only reduces the bandwidth on my home) but mobile data forces me to change my mobile plan.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I turned the data to the minimum quality, but the problem persist.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is Spotify buffering too much data in advance, or has it doubled the bps of the protocol?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sat, 02 Sep 2017 17:16:38 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/1932766#M88522 juanlive-6 2017-09-02T17:16:38Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/3182489#M95731 <P>I've also got this problem, Spotify has used over 1.1gb of my 2gb allowance, and all I do is play already downloaded music in the car, and only download everything on WiFi.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Latest Android version and it's started happening in the last 2 months.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Going to try a reinstall, then will have to restrict background data if it keeps doing it.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Going to have to buy more data now for the next week, thanks Spotify!&nbsp;</P> Mon, 13 Nov 2017 20:59:50 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/3182489#M95731 paul-and-kim 2017-11-13T20:59:50Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/3188426#M95764 <P>Maybe you should Off your data before streaming on music and listen on downloaded songs.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>-Aloy</P> Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:42:29 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Huge-amount-of-data-being-consumed-by-Spotify/m-p/3188426#M95764 user-removed 2017-11-14T09:42:29Z
