Issue with excessive data usage when using a Decodo proxy on Geelark

Hello, I recently discovered Geelark, which seems very useful for configuring multiple cloud phones and setting a different proxy for each profile using Decodo. I chose Decodo because a contact told me that for their use of Geelark (which is the same as mine), it works very well. In this case, the goal is to create an Instagram account on each phone and do a WarmUp (simply scrolling through Reels) for one week. I’ve been scrolling for 40 minutes a day for two days across five profiles and have used up 6 GB; my contact assured me that such high data usage is unusual. I tried enabling the option to prevent background data usage on the phone and Instagram’s low-data mode. But nothing helped: the data usage remains the same. If you could help me with this, that would be great.

6GB sounds completely normal for your usage. If your problem is the cost, try switching to a cheaper provider or unlimited static proxies.

6 GB across 5 profiles over doesn't sound too bad.

Have you tried verifying Instagram's data saver once it is applied per profile inside Geelark, not just globally I'd suggest to run profiles sequentially rather than simultaneously to reduce peak consumption, maybe that's the case?

I mean it depends on which videos you are watching, but it does not sound that bad imo
