I’m not doing anything my CS professors would be proud of. I’m not digging into the services or anything, I’m just using the Thin Q app and seeing what statuses and logs it’s pulling back for the client UI.

Seems like something that could easily be 200K of network traffic to run and monitor the appliance’s cleaning session. Nothing looks alarming.
