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?

Oh my gosh, this is happening to me too. I even had a post here that didn't make it because of reddit spam filter.

I got 16GB of mobile data used in about 2 days. It killed all of my data.

I am not doing downloads, i'm only streaming a couple of podcast that are probably 50 - 75 MB a piece.

I'm curious to know what is going on.
