My OVMS module just spiked to 8mb per day; charged me another $20; I was using 130kb per avg daily for a month straight since I received the unit.
all of a sudden 5/30/2019 I didn't receive any push notifications via mobile app that my car was charging; I went to my garage to see and sure enough it did charge so I didn't think anything of it. The next day is when I noticed the $20 recurring charge and decided to check the data usage.
I tried connecting to the ovms wifi and it wasn't showing up on my networks so perhaps something could of been looping or trying to connect with the ovms and the server so I unplugged it from the car; Reconnected and now I have access connection via wifi to the unit.
@markwj why did this happen; is there a way to limit the data usage say 1mb per day in case this error happens again? I don't want each session to use 7-8mb multiple times in a single day if the ovms has a fault or issue. There are other users who have had data spike and issues with data usage where hologram has charge them more than what the ovms is specifying if there are issues.
I spoke with someone today that his data spiked and was charged $300 through his ovms data usage. Perhaps this is something to look into? is there a command that would limit or alert me if data passes 1mb per day?
I did not apply the command config set vehicle stream 1
