Usage and clients reporting of Usage Data

Primarily, I need to understand what the resolution of the Usage data is that is being produced in the Usage and clients details section on the Clients tab.  The data I see being reported here is actually about 1/3 of the real data usage of some of the devices I'm monitoring.  I'm trying to understand what the collection rate is and retention.  For example, I have three devices running consuming approximately 18kbps each however the portal is showing about this for all three devices together and odd record points such as two records every 20 minutes for the Last 2 hours option.

 

The Historical usage data on the Access-points tab is similar with hourly data samples.

 

The Live data Uplink traffic is a lot better in terms of data frequency and volume but shows a lot more data usage than expected as well as it's capturing a lot more noise.

I'm not sure about the collection rate and retention as I've not seen public documentation on it, but there are several caveats about usage data listed here that may explain your differences: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Clients_Usage_Page_Ov...
