    As requested, I'm cross-posting here.

    Android user here. Nexus 5 running 4.4.4.

    I am experiencing this issue. Seems to be almost entirely foreground data, but I have disabled background data, as that might help. I managed to use ~575MB yesterday, and about 70MB for the rest of the week combined before that.

    Im using iOS 7. Did a quick test this by resetting data usage and started up hulk pvp: Joined a bracket and did 5 seed teams. With just whatsapp open in the background, it took almost 10MB of data. Seems a lot for 15mins of gameplay.

    Sadly, no.
    MPQ has always been crazy using Data.
    I did monitor it a month ago because I was abroad on a 250MB limit, and about 1MB per 2 fights sounds about right, even pre-R65.
    Had over 1MB after 1 fight, while PAD was at less than 500KB after an hour.

    I agree, while it seems like a bit, it really isn't compared to what I noticed. I checked my data usage after one fight and it was 10mb after that single fight alone.

    I'm iOS user that just got data throttled down and was wondering why because before I would rarely hit the 3GB throttled point. I just looked at my data usage and it says MPQ has used 7.9GB!!!! This is a new phone, about two weeks old so 7.9GB in 2 weeks! Please fix!

    Any news on this? Taking part in any event this weekend is going to be tricky if the data use overcharge makes it pay to play.

    On iOS 7 here, I'm getting between 1 and 2 MB per fight, which, as Bowgentle says, was typical before R65. Not that I'd say no to d3p starting to take mercy on my battery life if they were so inclined.

    regarding data consumption while open in the background, I believe that is a non issue
    foreground data consumption 11/18-11/21 1.32gb
    background data consumption 11/18-11/21 341kb

    Hello, I'm a long time gamer and today I noticed my phone informing me I had used all my data for the month. I had 750 MB left two days ago and looking at my usage I see that on the 21th my usage started to spike, I used 750 MB in two days and my play time wasn't any different than usual this seems really suspect. And yes that useage is to MPQ according to my phone, I should note that I usually use 300MB over the entire month on MPQ.

    Usage stats of MPQ. It's flatlined in the last few days as I've been ensuring MPQ is closed unless I'm on wifi.

    Just hit the Submit button on an Android update that should fix this. It will take a few hours to get to the store.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Are you expecting this to fix both the chat and the data bugs, or just data?

    (I'm not complaining if it's the latter, this should be priority 1)

    cool about the update, just wanted to chime in with my stats
    on WiFi: Forground 2.77 GB Background 0.01 GB
    on 4G : Forground 0.97 GB Background 0.03 GB.

    Will the update also fix the chatting issue?

    Got the update and Chat looks like it may be working again. At least, I can see some messages that weren't there before, but there are some "blank" messages that are taking up space:

    I'll wait for someone else to verify that the data issue is fixed before I run the game on 4g.

    Played for 30 mins on mobile data this morning and used around 10mb, which is within normal parameters. Seems better now...

    BUT:

    MPQ - it was really irresponsible not to put an in-game alert about data usage. Anyone not reading these forums (i.e. 99% of players) would not have known about this problem and might have incurred significant data usage costs. I understand the business reasons, but how about basic ethics?

    iOS 8.02

    I disagree that 1-2 Mb per match is a normal amount for this game. I would have stopped playing a long time ago at that rate. Anyways, I've used 1.4Gb in the last month and half, which I'm going to say is more than it used to be.
