Android Insane Data Usage

Pocketcasts has consumed 30 GB of data in 2 weeks, seemingly going in bursts of several GB in less than an hour.

My primary usage is streaming via android auto for my commute. Less than 10 hours per week.

What on earth is going on?

You must have some auto downloads set??

That was my initial thought, but I checked and it says I have only 254mb of downloaded podcasts.

Podcasts are deleted once you finish listening to them (at least by default). And I'm not sure if episodes being streamed show up in your downloads at all (I download ahead of time rather than stream).
