Streaming Video quality Apple TV+

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I was unable to find an Apple TV Plus listing. My question if fairly straight forward. Can you set Apple TV Plus to send content in standard definition? I have some limits on my Internet data monthly. My wife and I watched two episodes of The Morning Show and got an email alert that I was near my data cap as the two shows consumed 2.3 Gigabytes of data. Not everybody can

use High Def and prefer a lower resolution. I know you can set resolution on iTunes, but there doesn't seem to be any option with Apple TV+. If I cannot get Lower Def content then I won't be able to use my free 1-year Apple TV+ account.

Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

The Apple TV app on macOS has Preferences settings for playback, including the Streaming Quality: Good/Better/Best.

Change it to Good to receive a lower bitrate version.

I don’t have GB numbers for that, though.
