[ALL] Intermittent Cox Data Usage Meter

seems as if for the last 3 days or so now that my data usage meter has only worked 2 times in last 72 hours or so

every time i sign in to check my usage it says Your Data Usage Meter is undergoing maintenance. Please try again in 24 hours. and can not view any of my daily usage or anything

does that mean the system for measuring data is being worked on?

is anyone else having this issue as well please let me know

Thank You

Same issue here in Omaha market. I'm on ultimate and have 10 day's left and only have 4.34 gigs remaining... hopefully that's not accurate

What ever maintenance they were doing just cut my total usage for the month in half. Does this show that these usage meters are not exactly accurate?

Have Cox users compared the official Cox meter with their own logs?

Here is a comparison of mine. Sometimes they overshoot, sometimes they undershoot. I know it can has something to do with TCP correctable errors being counted as data. Also I think the forced throttle messes it up because of the way it tracks the session and the way speedboost work? But these are only guesses. What I need to do next is some fact checking and compare actual file sizes of items downloaded to both logs.
