Monster Google search data usage

[the_icon12]

Alright so I have lollipop on my 2014 X, and decided to look at my data usage. What I found was very disheartening and confusing. 626 MB of background data usage from Google search in the last 2 days. Any idea what is going on or how I can fix it? Or is it a bug? Thanks in advance guys

Hi, did you ever find a resolution? Same issue now on my Nexus 5.

That could be Google Now data. Are you using it?

I am, but could it conceivably be that much data? I was at 1.4 GB background in 4 days before I restricted background data.

Wow! That's a lot. Something is definitely wrong and my bet is on Now.

You could try wiping the cache partition. Maybe some conflict with old data after the update.
