nsurlsessiond seems to be running all the time and already uploaded 956MB, wow after searching and reading forums found the culprit.  it is my Photo library

Solution:

In the new Photos app, go to preferences, and you can choose pause for one day. This will stop the transfer for a day, and you can enable when you are sleeping or whatever.

pause for a day

NB: nsurlsessiond is not only iCloud. If you block it with Little Snitch , you won’t be able to browse some websites or submit any forms.
