DirecTV Now app causing high Android OS data usage

[AtrixHDMan]

On lasted stock non rooted OS and I have DirecTV Now app installed and recently I've noticed that every time I use the app my Android OS data usage is high so if I stream 500 megabytes of data on the DirecTV Now app then my Android OS data usage will be about the same. Issue is I have a limited data plan and it's eating through my data and I have one of those plans from T-Mobile with the binge on feature that doesn't supposed to count against your data if you're streaming from a certain app like YouTube Netflix Spotify and also DirecTV Now but it's using my data but only with the DirecTV Now app not with YouTube Netflix or Spotify just to name a few if anybody know why your help would be appreciated.

I would just disable the app in the settings when you're not using it, or block it from using mobile data, it's an annoying but simple fix.

I'm paying for the service and I want to use it but I guess after the last 2 updates the data is not zero rated anymore or at least on my LG G5 but is not using data on my old LG G3.Im using that for the time being until I figure what's going on.

Or we can just hibernate that app using any hibernation manager app.
