Console Updating 1/minute

I am writing my own application code for the Tracker SOM. Whenever I remove Tracker::instance().loop(); from the main loop I get a console update once per minute. Those updates are

spark/status
particle/device/updates/enabled
particle/device/updates/forced
particle/device/updates/pending

What is this and how do I make it stop?

Are you using sleep mode or disconnecting from the cloud? Those should not happen during normal operation but will happen when connecting to the cloud and cannot be prevented. They do not count as data operations but do use cellular data.

Also, not calling Tracker::instance().loop is not recommended as many things will stop working properly if you do that. If you want to take over complete control of the device you should not use any of the Tracker Edge firmware and instead write everything from scratch. Using the Tracker Edge that way will have unpredictable and likely surprising results.
