When using the Teltonika Remote Management GUI, after selecting a device’s information, under the tab “Metrics” > “Mobile data information” I can see a plot like this one:
That is correct, the information provided is data consumption per day per SIM card per direction (TX/RX).
Could you clarify in what format should the data be? Should be be hourly? Currently RMS has only one API endpoint for data consumption, and it’s the one you mentioned - /devices/{id}/data-usage.
RMS judges data consumption by taking the total amount, and subtracting the total amount that was received with the previous information pull. Let’s say at 08:45 when gathering the monitoring data the router has used up 1525MB of data that day. Next time the information is pulled at 08:50, and the data used was 1580MB. RMS simply takes 1580, removes 1525, and gets the result that 55MB of data has been used during the last 5 minutes.

Personally, it would be OK to have the data in daily format (as currently provided by the aforementioned API endpoint) as long as it is clear that I get the correct values because those are important for decision making and optimisation.
Ideally, one could also choose the interval during the API call (daily, hourly, etc.). This is just a suggestion.
As a side note, we are using the RMS API to collect said data in a Grafana dashboard along with various other metrics. This is just more comfortable compared to connecting to RMS and other providers’ interfaces in order to view the various performance metrics.
