I'm on an M1 Mac Mini, MacOS Monterey 12.1, running Outlook for Mac (New Outlook v. 16.57). I noticed after installing a network traffic monitoring app-TripMode- that Outlook for Mac was constantly running up a few MB's every few seconds, even after the Sync was apparently finished. I'm on Office365, company account (woodcraft.com)- if that has any bearing on the issue. I can leave it running, and the data usage never stops. I do NOT get a lot of emails, and my schedule is pretty light. There is not a lot to sync I'm thinking.
THE REALLY WEIRD THING
I tried running Outlook via a browser, Opera GX (LVL3 (core: 82.0.4227.50) (arm64))- and logged into Outlook on the web. Syncing, done. No other tabs open, yet Opera GX is still downloading data at same rate as Outlook by itself.
At times I run my Mac Mini via my personal hotspot (company network doesn't like Mac's, has me throttled like crazy)- and I was wondering why I was hitting my monthly hotspot data cap!
Thanks for any help on this-
Brian

I'm also running into the same issue with MS Teams on Mac. Constant data usage, after initial sync on launch.
