If I have a USB tethered phone always connected to my computer while I also have a wired network connection, will the phone use data when I load webpages, download things, etc? I don't care if it uses a tiny amount of data in order to be connected.

I gave the wired connection #1 priority from here:

Does anyone know if that's enough?

Shouldn't be a problem, I've done this in the past.

I also spent a month grinding stars on data and used under a gb.

You can also simply have your phone connected to wi-fi, if you lose your connection your phone should automatically switch
