Google Home and Data Usage

Hello,

I have a Google Nest WiFi Pro 6e router, and I have questions about the Data Usage features within the Google Home app.

1. When I view Data Usage for the past 1 Day, I only see as far back as four hours. How do I scroll through the graph to earlier times so I can see my total usage for the current day thus far?

2. When I switch to 7 and 30 Day views, the graph shows identical amounts for each date this month. Why is the app not displaying my data usage specific to each date?

3. Where is the option to export a report of my data usage to an Excel spreadsheet?

4. How do I set a custom alert so I can receive a notification when my data is approaching x% of my ISP's data allowance for the month?

Thank you.

Nest Wifi and the Google Home app is known to be way off on reported data usage, has been for years.

Combine that with no ability to turn off data consuming processes like daily automatic speed tests, Nest Wifi isn't really a great match for an ISP with a data cap.

There's no alerting feature on data usage. It likely wouldn't be reliable anyway. Maybe your ISP got such functionality?
