I generally try to prevent large amounts of data from being automatically downloaded or uploaded, so I disable things like automatic git fetch (when working with a large repository), automatic cloud backups, automatic updates, etc. This configuration tends to occur organically over time as I encounter unexpected moments of device slowness and "fix" the problem by disabling the offending automation.
