But wait, there’s more. After losing connection and witnessing his pod malfunction, random X user, @zimm3rmann, did some digging into the issue (before the AWS announcement), and somehow discovered that the app itself has been sucking up a ridiculous amount of data – 17.7 GB per month to be exact – just to run the thing.
It turns out another user, who thought the X claim was “clickbait,” checked their own stats and saw their pod was using up even more data at 28 GB per month, or roughly 2 GB per day.
How can it possibly use that much data?
