Android app - Background Data usage high

Running android 5.1
lichess v 1.5.1
Nexus 5

Just noticed today 80MB of background data usage by the lichess app for this month! (That's about 3 weeks).

Given that the android app does not do any notifications (e.g. "it's your move on game x"), the app should not have any background data usage. The app should stop pinging the server for updates as soon the app goes to background.

Anyone with Android dev experience willing and able to pick this up?

In the meantime, I have disabled background data for this app on Android
