nsurlsessiond is taking too much bandwidth. How do I stop or delete it?

iCloud is not running. All automatic services are off. Running the following script is unable to disable this process.

#!/bin/sh

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlstoraged.plist

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.nsurlsessiond.plist

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlsessiond.plist

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlstoraged.plist

Output:

Unload failed: 5: Input/output error

Unload failed: 5: Input/output error

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlsessiond.plist: Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged

Unload failed: 150: Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlstoraged.plist: No such file or directory

Unload failed: 2: No such file or directory


Try to delete the process file:

sudo rm -f /usr/libexec/nsurlsessiond

Output:

rm: nsurlsessiond: Operation not permitted

I think this might be worked for me

use this code to (macOs Bigsur)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

launchctl stop /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlstoraged.plist

launchctl stop /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.nsurlsessiond.plist

sudo launchctl stop /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlsessiond.plist

sudo launchctl stop /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nsurlstoraged.plist

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after this I applied in my MacBook Terminal

nsurlsessiond stopped


as I knew from some blog in reddit

unload and load function are assign to other activity

and start and stop is used for this activity { updated from macOs BigSur }
