The internet traffic is quite big for one full node already

Over the past 106 days, my node (on clearnet) downloaded less than 1 GB per day, and uploaded 23 GB per day on average. I've set it to allow much more, so it's solely limited by the demand for data. For a server, it's not that much. At home, I don't expect my ISP to complain about uploading 23 GB per day continuously, but I also wouldn't want to find out.

I didn't know the numbers, thank you for this, very good information.
I think that with this kind of traffic (especially upload) the ISP may start keeping an eye on ~~you~~ the user, since I don't know of too many apps that generate such traffic apart of Bitcoin and the P2P file sharing services (like torrent).

In the post covid work from home world 23GB per day is not that much. Add in the number of people who are streaming things out of their homes to the internet these days it adds even more people to the heave bandwidth users. A few years ago that amount of bandwidth would have been noticed, today not so much.

Now, the flip side of that is that the above statement depend on where you are. If you are in an area where the providers are a bit more limited, then they might care and notice. But them they tend to target the to 1% or 2% of users does not matter what you are doing it's just looking at a chart and saying these people use the most.
