Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I only have a 10 GB cell plan. I only let it update apps when it is attached to WiFi, and update iOS only through iTunes on my computer. Generally I turn cell service off prior to updating any of these things because I'd much rather have the update fail completely than burn 60% of my data updating apps I don't use. Yet somehow I've burned almost 60% of my data plan on "Software Update."
Does anyone know why?
This is iOS 16.3.

To set options when Cellular Data is on, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options, then do any of the following: Reduce cellular usage: Turn on Low Data Mode, or tap Data Mode, then choose Low Data Mode. This mode pauses automatic updates and background tasks when iPhone isn't connected to Wi-Fi.

I turned Low Data mode on and it's still trying to download something every night. Probably won't do it tonight as I'm out of data for the month so Mint Mobile won't let it. 12.1 GB of the 12.4 GB the phone has downloaded this month are "Software Update."
