How to prevent profile from running on metered connection e.g. cell data hotspot

[JeremyStein]

One of my backup profiles is pretty network-intensive. If I happen to be working over cell data when its scheduled time arrives, I'd rather it skip or wait for a better connection.

When I'm connected to my phone hotspot and I open Outlook, it won't download emails until I confirm that I want to run over the "metered connection". So, it appears there is a way to tell that you're using data on Windows?

If this feature isn't available, maybe I could write a pre-script with a success criteria that checks the name of my current connection to see if it's my phone? But it would be cool if this was supported more directly.

Hello,
it's available, see the "Startup" tab sheet of the Program Settings dialog.

See this example. You need to find the names of your Internet connection(s) by clicking on the whoami.php link in the dialog, or here:

Of course this feature exists, Tobias! Thank you. I had assumed it was a per-profile option. Wonderful!
