    Okay but like that shouldn’t use more than maybe a few MB per month with tons of metadata added in – it’s like it’s uploading HD video at the rate mentioned in OP

      Yeah, but you see, they’re using the new “Rich Data” time messaging blocks, which include recordings of nearby audio. They need that data so that they can train their AI models on what a normal kitchen sounds like – so that the AI coffee maker can then alert you or the proper authorities to things like break-ins, and mice, and spouses sneaking midnight snacks, and political wrongspeak, and fires, and earthquakes. That sort of thing.
