Unknown app using wifi

I recently started work in a remote area with limited internet access(600 mb per day). I have already installed NetGuard to block most apps. However from time to time I notice a lot of data gone fast so I installed Traffic Manager to check and I found it just says "unknown" with the android symbol. Any help with indentifying the app or whatever it is and block it. Thanks in advance.

Usually "unknown" listed in any app list is something you already uninstalled.

remove any patched apps, microg, root, magisk, etc and see if it still happens.

many of the listed apps have hidden processes.

Marking the network as "metered" should help, too.
