    Hi Qortoroid,

    Thanks for the follow-up question.

    Please be advised that some selected streaming channels employ their own mechanism to cease data usage after a specific period of inactivity. These features will not be affected when you disable Bandwidth Saver.

    We hope we have addressed your question appropriately, but please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or additional feedback.


    Best regards,
    Mary
