Curious about this symbol in my status bar. 2/3 circle around + sign

Hey gang,
Just curious what this symbol is, it's popped up occasionally in my status bar, especially when traveling.
I can't seem to share the screenshot. It's next to my Wi-Fi symbol and it's a circle that's 2/3rds filled around a plus sign. It doesn't seem to show in any active app.
Thanks for your expertise.

Steve

It means Data Saver is enabled. When on, background data usage for apps are restricted when not on WiFi. Useful for managing small prepaid data plans or nearing mobile data throttle caps.

Settings > Networks > Mobile Data > Menu button > Data Saver

You can whitelist specific apps to have background data while Data Saver is enabled by selecting the Unrestricted Data Access option here as well.

There is also a toggle for it available in the Notification Panel you pull down from the status bar. It looks similar to the status bar icon.

That explains a lot, thank you! I wondered why MMS weren't downloading automatically. Time to go turn that off, I'm lucky enough to have unlimited still. You rock!
