Nighthawk AX12 RAX120 Traffic Meter way off (several times higher than actual usage)

Did you factory reset the router after applying the new FW and setup from scratch and re-enabled TM and see if this is still seen?

I use traffic meter (Advanced Setup / Traffic Meter) to monitor the usage and stop connection when it's close to monthly limit. It was good and helpful until recently (2~3 month back).

 

Now the issue is whatever value it tracks is much higher than actually usage. It's at least 3~4x of the usages from ISP (and my usage pattern). The first time I noticed it was when it's only less than half week and it says I already used 1.2TB (but actually only less than 100GB). Today it happens again (hit 1.2T), but actually usage is 300GB. If the issue started from last month (can't remember exactly), then that means it was 2T usage from the meter but actually 300GB from ISP.

 

I have no choice but to reset the meter, but before I reset I tried to check the stats and it's not helpful. All I could say is that meter seems to consider I have burst usage since it's not evenly distributed.

 

I suspect it's due to latest firmware update RAX120 / RAX120v2 Firmware Version 1.2.9.52 - NETGEAR Support, which was 9/20/2023, matches the timeline.

 

Can someone from Netgear investigate if there's bug with the firmware update that broke the traffic meter?
