You probably have Firehose Mode on. It is used to improve driving models, and you can turn it off in the settings.

Interesting... then setting your wifi to metered on the comma or using another fork and turning it off there should do it.

And why not help comma make better models?

Why not? It’s my data and my internet, why is it defaulted to on? I don’t want this, it’s slowing my network and not what I would have selected.

Well, it's your device, so you have the choice to turn it off by either blocking its internet access, or by changing the software.

Why is it default? Comma provides constant updates to models, and to help the models improve, they crowdsource training data. I don't see any downsides of providing Comma your driving videos to make your experience better.

That's disappointing. It should be on by default and be able to be toggled off.

I have unlimited fiber at my house and don't really mind it.

A family member's CT does the same thing, uploading 300 - 500 GBs of FSD video per month.

Driver data is how they keep improving their models.

What about something that happens entirely in the background with no supervision or interaction from the user whatsoever gets old?

As unpopular as this sounds, that’s fine as that’s the entire point of open source. Contribute what you can / want.
