Ms exchange insane data usage!

A couple days ago my phone all of a sudden started to get warm and slow and the battery went from full to zero in a few hours. Then I got a message that I reached my data limit for the month. I checked this out and was shocked to find out that exchange services had used an insanely amount of data. We are talking about 700 mb in a couple of days. I haven't changed any settings. This happened over night.....

Anyone with the same issue? And a fix?

How many days back are you syncing mail? Perhaps set it to 30 days or less. Also perhaps change settings to not auto download attachments.
 
Since you didn't mention it I have to ask... did you check your mailbox for a large volume of new email or attachments?
 
No, I don't auto download attachments. As I said, I haven't changed any settings, and this was. not issue until a couple days ago.

Oh man, this happened to me also, just in the last 5 days or something. My phone is always warm. If I check the battery usage I see that it does not sleep but is always awake.
Android os is using around 25% of my battery and then exchange is around 20%.
I installed juice defender and the phone is at least cooler and the android os is down to 18% of battery usage, but exchange is at 21% and I haven't received or sent a single email since I last charged my phone.
Exchange has used approximately 400mb in data last 7 days and I have only received around 10 emails none of which are more then 50kb or something.

I now disabled background data transfer for exchange and the phone is a little bit better. The battery is now down to 60% in 2h40m with very little usage. Which is better than before but still quite bad.

Please let me know if you find a fix

I believe I have resolved the issue. It seems like it is some sort of loop and it gets stuck with continously syncing. I deleted my account and added it again. This didn
