Quick answer
Windows and some apps reduce background activity on a metered connection. Check that setting if downloads or syncing behave differently on a hotspot.
Understand the issue
Confirm whether the connection has a limited data allowance before changing anything. Compare the same app on your usual network and record its message. A deliberate data-saving restriction should not be treated as a broken network card.
Step-by-step checks
- Check whether the active connection is metered.
- Read the affected app’s data-use setting.
- Choose when to continue the transfer within your allowance.

Conclusion
Turning off the restriction can use more data. Make the decision based on the connection plan and the importance of the transfer. Keep a note of the result so a technician can continue from the evidence rather than repeat the same checks.
