Enable metered connection in Windows 11

In Windows 11, a metered connection is a feature for "Wi-Fi" and "Ethernet" network connections that limits background data usage for the operating system and applications to prevent data overages. Typically, you would set a network connection as metered if you have a limited internet connection, a mobile hotspot, or connections where you want to save data.

If you need to limit data usage on your computer, Windows 11 has settings to set a network connection as metered through the Settings app.

This guide will show you the steps to set up a metered network connection in Windows 11.
