Now I can't remember exactly why, but it has to do with the underlying iOS APIs.
"best" is meant for things like navigation apps where you really want every data point as accurate as possible. Personally I don't mind the battery hit because that's the data I want!
Glad you're enjoying it! Changing how often it sends data will have probably the biggest effect. Notice the two other top apps there, Outlook and Overcast, both of which are heavy background data users. Next up is desired accuracy.
It's got plenty of knobs to turn if you want to increase battery life at the cost of collecting slightly less data. Most of the things on the settings screen adjust properties of CLLocationManager
I've been wearing smart watches of various sorts for 11 years, and my experience has shown me that a device doesn't work for me unless the battery lasts for at least 4 days, preferably closer to 10.
Could I train myself to be more proactive at charging? Yes. Do I want to? no.
That's literally the only reason I want a smart watch, to track my sleep! Coincidentally that's the reason I can't get an Apple Watch, battery life is just crap.
in my experience it's specific to the wifi provider of the flight, for example gogo provides wifi on a bunch of different airlines and it worked the same for all of those
Never heard of it before but now I am interested!
A while back I wrote a script that downloads this in-flight data and logs it, but now I just pull the data from flightaware for my logs :-)

It has taken me a *lot* of work to get over my tendency towards wanting to make each video "perfect", because they never will be and the only way to keep getting better is to keep making more!
Update: a week later and traffic has fallen off of Cloudflare. Interestingly I don't see a corresponding increase on the origin server's bandwidth usage, but I do see more requests in the access log.
Sometimes I get annoyed that it takes me 10 hours to make a video that takes you 10 minutes to watch.
So my goal with every video is that it gets at least as much total watch time as it took me to make it, then it's worth it.
