During the OONI Partner Training 2021, participants mentioned that it would be useful if the OONI Run link indicated how much data testers are expected to consume if they run an OONI Run link.

This is not something which we are able to determine a-priori, because that's going to vary greatly depending on what site they are testing.

If you have a OONI Run link test target a single 10MB image, it's probably going to use as much bandwidth as 50+ normal sized websites.

Technically we could do some interaction with some backend service to get an accurate estimate, but it's not something we are even doing for the current test list targets.

As such I don't think this is something that can be technically achieved with a reasonable amount of effort.
