I plan to use a 4G router between Venus GX and VRM Portal. The data traffic capacity is limited and expensive. How much traffic (typically in Gbit/month) can I expect? I have a REC BMS, a MultiPlus 48/5000 and a SmartSolar MPPT 250/60.

Venus and VRM Portal communication data consumption
This is answered at the CCGX FAQ on the Victron Live site here:
Q18: What is the data usage of the Color Control GX?
These are out of the box default settings, which is a 15 minute log interval.
If you log per minute, this is multiplied by 15!
If you log per hour, divided by 4.
Data consumption per month:
• VRM logging: 15MB download, 45MB upload
• Remote support: 22MB download, 40MB upload
• Update checks: 8MB download, 0.3MB upload (This does not include the update itself)
• 2 way communication: 26MB download, 48MB upload
Mentioned megabytes do not include the download of a Color Control firmware update. Firmware updates of 60MB are not uncommon.
