When I was concerned about usage limits I put my firestick into a non-4K mode. Is it possible your device is configured that way and you didn't notice any difference because you never watched a show in 4K?

Thanks for pointing out that the standard plan is only 1080. I have premium for a different reason and was considering a downgrade but now I'll have to give that a bit more thought.
For the record, all of my equipment is in the 4K mode. I have a 4K Roku stick, a 4K cable box, a 4K Blu-Ray player, and a 4K television, and everything is set to 4K.
