The play store is consuminv about 10Mb background data traffic per day, although I don't use automatic updates. Is that normal?
How can I stop that behavior?
Settings > Data Usage > Play Store > Scroll to the bottom and tick "Restrict Background Data"
It seems normal, I've used about the same. 73.29mb in the past 7 days. What that's from I'm not sure.

I did that but play store doesn't work properly without background data. So I have to reenable it each time I use play store....

I've blocked all the bloat that you possibly can but I also don't want apps updating without my permission. Is there any way to do that without root?
For Google Play apps simply go into Google Play Store settings and turn off auto-update. Same thing for Galaxy Apps: settings --> turn off auto-update.
There will still be notifications indicating updated apps are available but you can choose which and when to install them.

Never thought to look for a menu there. That's a big help- thanks.
So I'm looking in security settings --> advanced settings --> App Usage access. Trying to figure out what this is, exactly.
Current only home is set to on. App Source (which I also don't know what it does) and Google Play Services are both off.
Any ideas?
I've tried following the guide I found below but still couldn't get it to show up. It comes up in the play store settings but not ADM. My location is turned on high accuracy and my gps functions completely fine. Next thing I'll try is a full factory wipe but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Anyone have an idea?
Code:
Clear data for the following apps:
Play Store
Download Manager
Google Services Framework
Restart your phone.
Fire up the Play Store app.
Wait for the device to show again on the web Play Store. It will appear under Settings > Devices. It may take a half-hour to several hours to appear.
When your phone has shown up in the Play Store with the date registered as today's date, proceed with the next steps, but not before.
Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.
Touch Android Device Manage(security).
Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.
Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All > Google Play services.
Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data.
Go back to Google Settings and Security and select Allow remote factory reset.
Restart your device.
Just remember do this in order, also only do this on devices which are not showing in ADM app and wait till you see device on web at play store devices before completing stick to the order.
I have exactly the same problem, the only work around I could find was to set up a new Google account just for device manager; it's not ideal but it works. I am pretty sure I maxed out my main account with activations, annoying problem I wish I could find a proper solution.
I've had this issue since the 2nd or 3rd dp. Google play services would force close out of nowhere. Then i would go into settings and see that my account backup is not enabled. It's grayed out and I can't pick the google account. The only way to get it back to show up is when I clear the cache and data of google play services and reboot the phone. However it would start crashing again and I would have to pair my watch again (moto 360 and lg g watch r). So yesterday I tried to figure out the culprit and it was google fit. When I uninstalled it everything is fine and when I reinstalled it all hell break loose. I was just wondering if anyone else having this issue?

I did try it and it still crashes
I had the same problem with Fit on my pixel. Here's what Google support sent me...
I recommend trying these basic troubleshooting steps:
Connect to a strong internet connection to access and download from the Play Store:
Try switching your internet connection to another Wi-Fi/cellular network. Also try accessing your network from a different location. Check if your signal strength improves and if you can browse web sites.
Force your device to check in to Google servers to gain full access to the Play Store:
Go to Phone > Dialpad (10 dot icon) and dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (*#*#2432546#*#*). Do not start the call. The numbers you entered should disappear.
Within 2 minutes, you should receive a "checkin successful" notification.
If this doesn't work, you can also force a check in by manually changing the date and time:
Go to Settings > Date & time.
If you see any of the following menu items, turn them off:
Automatic date & time
Automatic time zone
Tap Set date and Set time and manually change the date and time so they're incorrect.
Tap Home (the circle at the bottom of your screen) and repeat steps 1-2.
Turn Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone back on.
Reboot your device:
Press and hold the power button and tap “Power off” when it appears.
Once the phone powers off, press and hold the power button until the device powers on.
If the issue persists, remove and re-add your Google account:
Note: This may delete settings and un-synced in-app content. However, your purchases and synced data (Gmail, Google contacts, etc.) are tied to your account and will be available after re-adding your account. Make sure you remember your account password because you'll need to log back in after re-adding your account.
Remove your account:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google and tap the name of the account you wish to remove.
Tap More (three vertical dots) and Remove account. Tap Remove account again to confirm account removal.
Add your account back to your device:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account.
Select Google and enter your account information.
If the issue persists, clear the cache and data of the Play Store app:
Navigate to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage.
Tap Clear data > OK.
Tap Clear cache.
Note: this may reset Play Store settings. After clearing cache and data of the Play Store app, double check your settings: open Play Store > Menu (3 horizontal bars) > Settings.
If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall Play Store app updates:
Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store.
Tap More (3 vertical dots) > Uninstall updates > OK.
Launch the Google Play store app, then tap Home (circle icon at the bottom of the screen).
Wait 5-10 minutes for the app to self-update and relaunch Google Play.

Automatic Force Checking in to Google servers is what worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
Good luck
google fit doesnt work on unoffcial rom
official lineage works fine
it says fit is having trouble with play services
Anyone else getting this in Google play? I've cleared everything readded my Google account still can't figure it out. Running 8.1 fully stock
Same here... so freaking annoying. Pixel 2 XL running 8.1 stock.
Edit:
I was able to fix this by Uninstalling Updates for Google Play. Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > Google Play Store > '...' menu > Uninstall Updates
Hope that works for you, too!
Yes, but the updates are installed immediately and the problem comes back. I even wiped the phone by installing the latest images - the problem is still there.
It's very strange indeed - it happens with some searches and not others e.g. when I type 'tower defense' the error occurs but when typing 'tower defense games' and a little icon appears in front of the suggestion the error does not occur. Can anyone replicate the error?
Same thing happening here when updating Google Play Store from 7.0.17 to 8.5.39. Uninstall Google Play Store updates, then turn off auto updating.
To turn updates on or off, follow these steps:
Open Google Play Store.
Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.
Tap Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps.
