Data usage / network traffic

Hi.
I am on a mobile network and have only a limited data usage every month. Does anybody know how much data is send / received in approximately 1 hour of intensive CAD usage (this will be of course the file size when opened and "saved" and then all the recorded changes)?
Is this multiple times the file size? Are we talking 10 or 100 Mb/hour?
I am not concerned about speed because I'm on 4G.
Thanks for your input.
Best regards,
Jos

@jos_vh It really depends on what exactly you are doing. We try to send only what has changed to minimize the back and forth with our servers. However in modeling actions that will modify much of the model, the traffic will be more than making small changes to a portion of an environment. The size of the workspace you are opening initially will also add to this traffic. The short answer, we don't have a chart/graph that relates modeling hours to data usage since the document size/complexity varies.Lou Gallo

Just a vague datapoint: I have been modeling for a few hours some months ago and I can remember it was 150 MB on iPad.
Note: Make sure you have not only a fast connection but a stable one! Nothing worse than being on a train in Germany and loosing the network in the middle of a feature edit.5
