The Data Usage Service is responsible for monitoring and reporting network data usage. It collects data on the amount of data sent and received by each network interface on the computer.
The service can help you control background data usage for specific applications, which can be useful for reducing data usage on metered networks. It also allows you to set up data limit notifications, which will alert you when you approach or exceed a specific data limit.
If you experience issues with the network data usage features, restarting the Data Usage Service might help.
