Describe the Feature you'd like

Please make Usage Access permission optional for app functionality

Why do you want this feature?

If I wish to use Data Monitor for the sole purpose of displaying connection speed in the status bar, I wouldn't need to provide the highly sensitive Usage Access permission.

Additional context

Well that would defeat the sole purpose of the app. It's primary objective is to monitor one's data usage, for which Usage access permission is necessary.

I do understand your concern about granting the permission but no data collected using it ever leaves your device. Everything is stored locally and fetched from the system when needed.

I understand. Can you clarify why Data Monitor requires full network access?
