Windows 11 ignores Metered Connection setting

Normally, my laptop is on an unmetered connection, and part of that time, it’s on a wired connection with bandpass just shy of a half-gig bps. However, during the day during the week, it’s on a metered wifi/mifi connection, with a limit of 5GB per month.

For some reason, even though the mifi is set as a metered connection, it always insists on downloading massive updates while on the mifi, instead of overnight while on the unmetered connection.

How can I stop this misbehavior, and keep it from abusing my mifi and costing me extra money on the mifi every month?
