In the Builder usage dashboard, I can see updates broken down by app, which is helpful for understanding which apps are consuming the most updates.

However, Sync usage appears aggregated and not tied to a specific app. This makes it difficult to identify which app is responsible for higher Sync consumption. Recently, Syncs have become the largest source of update costs in my plan.

Is there a way to track which app is generating the most Sync activity? Would switching apps from “Extra Mode” to “Normal Mode” help reduce this? Also, why isn’t Sync usage detailed per app like other update types?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Generally, yes. Extra syncs every X minutes, whilst Normal Mode would only sync when there’s actual changes.

I think this is good feedback @NoCodeAndy.
