I have a router supplied by my ISP which has a TR-069 feature and my ISP disabled the ability of controlling that TR-069 (toggling it or configuring it)
My issue is that I am on a limited quota connection (200GB monthly quota), and I started feeling that my ISP is adding fake usage to my quota that I actually don't use but they consider it as used... I then monitored my actual usage using a Mikrotik server and found out that my ISP's website says that I used 200GB of my quota although my actual usage was 114GB only.
So let's get back to the TR-069 part, I started thinking about that thing in my router and if my ISP is using it as a method to steal of my quota or no.
So the question in short is: Can an ISP download data using TR-069? or TR-069 can be used for automatic configuration only?
Thanks!

200gb down or up and down combined? – anonjnr – 2019-12-26T14:33:15.020

The link you quoted answers your question High-level operations possible through TR-069

@Spiff - I contacted my ISP about my case several times and they always said that my usage has no problems. About your question, there is a government authority in my country responsible for spectating the ISPs.. and my thought here is that my ISP may want to let my quota to finish faster but in a regular way (as if I really used that usage - through my router's TR069) they do that to prevent that authority and in the same time charge me for additional quota – gave – 2019-12-26T16:44:34.700
If the ISP wants to charge you for more usage they could just fake the statistics, they wouldn't need to actually use your bandwidth. – Barmar – 2019-12-27T18:53:38.397
