Sounds more like an issue with the app itself ignoring the setting to not download when not on wifi. Second issue is the size of nightly downloads, how much is actually changing on the playlists on a nightly basis to result in 12GB of downloads?

The OS let’s the app make/ignore the rules?

I'm not super techy by any means, but I know what the settings mean and everything has been the same forever. I called apple and telus and they both pointed fingers at each other and then at Android support.

I dont know where else to go from there if Android support can't help me. Turn my data off while I'm sleeping IDFK

If you disabled data inside the Apple music app for playlist syncing, and it's still using data you can go into Android settings and block background data usage by the Apple Music app. Shutting off data overnight would obviously work as well.

It is a known issue with the Apple music app (on iOS and Android) using up a ton of data. Doesn't affect everyone it seems but there are a bunch of people on support forums asking about it.

Yes, two different ways to stop data usage. One is app restricting data on its own (OS doesn't control that), and then there is OS restricting data usage by apps.

Ya man thats all shut off, I did notice it being a known issue with androids. I'm just going to have to stop using apple music and find a better platform.
