I have noticed that when I look in Tether under Traffic Usage, its always showing there is no traffic for like the whole morning and then all the sudden shows a huge amount of data.   Once I looked at the logs, I can see why it is doing that.  The service is stopping and starting and this is the same as a reboot of the router in this aspect.   I have seen that when I reboot the router it does the same thing and does not show any of the transfer data up until that point it comes back online.

As you can see in the photo, it's starting right at 11 for the day and that's the last time the service restarted.

I am seeing two issues with this latest firmware.   The issue I described above and I also think it's counting all the internal traffic on my Main PC.  It's a TP-link TX401 card but I KNOW I am not transferring that amount of data out to the internet.   Yes, I upload quite a bit but this is coming from my NAS through this machine.   I know these numbers are not correct because nothing has changed but the firmware from a beta version (BE800v1_1.2.1_250219_beta) and I was only uploading like 80GB a day.  

I have returned to factory defaults many times on this 1.2.4 version and nothing seems to help.

I am HOPING TP-Link will respond to this and give me another beta build or a way to fix this issue.
