Well, that's why we should make sure to not do it on metered connections. There are all kinds of heuristics we could use to detect a metered connection (idk which ones are actually implemented, if any), and there should also be a checkbox to mark a connection as metered if the detection fails, imo. NetworkManager already has the relevant API for this.
