Cross-posting

Tiles are downloaded from the servers specified for the corresponding map tile source. Only OSM Scout maps request tiles from that server, the rest go directly to Mapbox, HERE, and others.

Tiles are cached by MapboxGL library locally for some time. Some are less (HERE Traffic), some more - as specified in expiry date of the tiles server. You could clean the cache, when you wish, through preferences (we did that earlier today).

Hence my surprise that PM+Mapbox tiles depends on OSM Scout Server - that shouldn't be so.
