I don't have one but I wouldn't want to be checking it at all. My phone has one which I don't tend to worry about because I don't use it for data so much. With my home devices, the two of us stream a fair bit, have big updates to games, and have game pass so we're downloading stuff which can be 80GB+. Add on hours of daily video calls and even our slow connection must get through quite a lot.
