download data size is 3x upload - why is this so much?

Any insight into why the download on my cerbo gx is over 3x the upload. I have a pretty standard system with Multiplus, MPPT, shunt, and 4 temp sensors.

Is there a config change that will help. Seems like the bulk of the data should be going up - no?

How often is set the system to report its data?

Settings - VRM online portal - Log interval?

Take into account that it's a Linux OS and if it's not very rigorous "trimmed" for the purpose, there are a lot of services that use web services.

Is it set to auto update? If so, its recently released updates.

From the graph is fairly uniform, each day, every day....

I know Victron guys are prolific, but not quite so.. :-)))

If enabled, disable General>Remote support unless you need it. This might mitigate the problem with the solutions suggested above but it doesn't really answer your question. I'm equally curious though this isn't a problem for me.

For comparison here are the network flows for the past 30 days on my Cerbo GX - something is definitely different with yours

The big download spike was the firmware update.

Is it possible, that the download comes from a different device on the network?
Do you use a phone as a hotspot or is that a LTE-router?
