Description: Netrics is most likely causing, "You’ve used 75% of your data this month", where "75%" can be higher. Goal: design a test schedule (cron) to reduce the amount of transferred data while keeping a representative number of data points.

downgrading to /4 or /6 or custom hours.

Jamie: ideally, we would either attempt every hour, but have it proceed on a randomly defined fraction of the time, where the fraction would depend on total bandwidth, or run a speedtest at install, and determine the frequency then.

--limit-consumption seems to be working. Closing this one.
