Disable MLAT

sudo systemctl disable --now adsbexchange-mlat

Increase REDUCE_INTERVAL

sudo nano /etc/default/adsbexchange

Change the REDUCE_INTERVAL line to look like this:

REDUCE_INTERVAL="2.5"

Approximate bandwidth requirement per month with the above settings

With the interval of 2.5 seconds and an average of 10 aircraft in range of your receiver, the data used will be around 1 GB per month. For a more typical 50 aircraft in view (average, not peak), the data usage will be 5 GB per month.

You can increase that interval in the configuration file to further reduce data usage.
