Hi, so if I open Activity Monitor, and click on the network tab, at the bottom of the window there is an entry that says "Data received: 5.98 GB". Is this number for one day? one week? What's the time period of this almost 6GB reading? I attached a screenshot of it.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the report.
There are better ways if you need to track up/down, that you can set to monthly— independent of reboot— I use one from the App Store: "Bandwidth+"

I suspect this is logged in time.
Reboot or log out & back in to test.
The official KB is of little use:

I just downloaded it, and it shows me my traffic in the menu bar. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll keep it on my mac, it's easier than the activity monitor.
How do I check daily internet usage on my mac
