How to prevent profile from running on metered connection e.g. cell data hotspot
Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2021 2:27 am
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.
