I can’t quite figure out why Syncthing is using so much bandwidth. Perhaps you can help me. I have an UnRAID server, and when I pause the Syncthing docker, network usage is essentially zero. Then when I start the server, network usage sustains download at about 500Kbps. This is unexpected to me, as I set the incoming rate limit to 50 KiB/s.
Is there any way to see what is using so much bandwidth on Syncthing? Last month, this caused my server to use more than the 2TB of data allowance my ISP provides me. This is why I set the incoming rate limit so low. Thank you in advance for any support!!
