    Thanks for the very handy plugin !

    One observation concerns me – using “WP Crontrol” plugin I have found that there is a wpcode_usage_tracking_cron weekly Cron job and it is there (enabled) regardless of the “Allow Usage Tracking” option setting.

    This seems to be counterintuitive, please confirm whether usage tracking is indeed disabled when the “Allow Usage Tracking” option is switched off.

    Hi @eugene212,

    The usage tracking functionality is built to stay out of the way as much as possible. The cron callback’s first check is if the usage tracking is enabled and if it is not enabled it will immediately stop and no further processing is done.

    The cron is scheduled to run weekly to avoid reporting too often and not have all enabled sites to report at the same time, by having the cron scheduled in this way, if reporting is enabled at a later time it will keep the right schedule and stay out of the way.

    The cron execution takes place in the background and if the reporting is disabled it just runs a simple check on a setting.
