appstored downloading a lot of data in the background in metered connections

I've seen appstored downloading 24 GB in my company managed laptop and this consumed all the data allowance in the metered connection.

I checked in apple forums and in this question appstored process downloading crazy amoun… - Apple Community they suggest to contact the company that manages the system.

I also checked Metered Connections - Apple Community and since my company is managing the device, I am not allowed to disable automatic updates for the system. For the App Store, I apparently can do it but every time I close the app, the option is checked again.

It would be great to have the possibility to configure metered connections as in iPhone or other non apple devices, in which these downloads won't start unless authorized.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

A - As pervious posting mentioned very correctly - Speak to the Company and / or Company IT Department.

They are the ones who manage the device as well as Authorizing the Downloads or for that matter Not Authorizing

You're not talking to Apple here, we're users just like you.

If you have company IT problems you need to talk to them.

If you wish Apple to here your feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/
