t-Mobile only PS5 data shows as hotspot data

I've got a mikrotik setup that's been solid enough for a year plus. Recently I've noticed that there is hotspot data being used and I've narrowed it down to the PS5.
Does anyone have a clue why this would be and how I might be able to fix it? It's not a problem at the moment, but I'd like to have everything working in that nice unlimited data pile.

Your router is likely leaking hotspot data through IPv6.
Try replacing the existing TTL rules under Network > Firewall > Custom rules > copy and paste this over the entire existing page:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o radio usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
Click on Save/Restart Firewall.
Go to Modem > Connection Profile > copy and paste the following:
Custom DNS Server1: 1.1.1.1
Custom DNS Server2: 1.0.0.1
Custom DNS Server3: 2606:4700:4700::1111
Custom DNS Server4: 2606:4700:4700::1001
Click on Save&Apply, reboot the router and test it.

Hey did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same problem :/
