Reducing System Service General Data Usage

Over the past year I have had a consistent problem with system service general using too much data. I have a 1GB plan for each month but nearly every time I leave my house system service general uses about 200mb of data. I have tried everything that I could find to reduce this data usage: I have turned off wifi assist, background app refresh, iCloud backup and drive, every non-essential location service, iPhone analytics, and Find My IPhone.

I also reset my data statistics after every month; all of this data is from after July 23.

I have also turned off every system services location setting except sos

Overall I really like my iPhone 13 but if this keeps up I can’t continue with it, it’s just not sustainable.

iPhone 13, iOS 17
