Craig, I cannot see how the modem in your bench module "dev" could cause >8 MB network traffic when the module has Wifi all the time, except by many reconnects + Hologram counting these as traffic (which I think they shouldn't and don't do), or by the module not using Wifi due to a test or very poor signal level. The only modem change coming to my mind is the GSM signal quality extension by Jaime, which initially had switched good & bad signal levels. But that wouldn't have triggered a modem reconnect, rather reboots, and that wouldn't have gone unnoticed by you. You can check the cellular reconnect count from "cellular status debug". Of course that only counts reconnects that need an IP renegotiation, not transparent transitions to other cell towers. Looking forward to your findings.

I'm still hunting the regression that causes high hologram usage. My search so far shows:
3.3.004-298-gd00134c2 16Nov24 good 3.3.004-327-ge8bac6d4 31Dec24 bad
I just built/booted 3.3.004-323-gbc1f75c9 (24Nov24). I've been letting test versions run at least a few days before checking the hologram dashboard usage graph. But I must admit, once I found a version that I got the charges down from $45/month (back to ~$5/month), I've been less aggressive in my testing.

I have three ovms modules, two are in cars and one is on the bench. Most of the time they are on my home wifi.
hologram used to bill me less often than once a month. But I noticed recently this had increased to about once every three days. When I looked at usage (see attached) things changed in early January.
I keep an archive of the builds I've run. On January 8th I upgraded from 3.3.004-246-ge9decc46 (September 8th, 2024) to 3.3.004-332-gadce9471. That seems to be when hologram usage increased.
Last week I upgraded to 3.3.004-382-ge83be0e7 but usage still seems high. I looked a per-sim usage and though I put similar miles on each car in a month, one is 50% higher than the other. But even the dev unit is way higher than I would expect for a module that is *always* in range of wifi.
What am I missing?
Craig
