Windows 10: In Bluetooth and other devices why does it say 'Download over metered connection'?

I don't have a Bluetooth device, but if I didn't wouldn't disabling this be best?

Bluetooth connection setup incomplete because of metered connection

That box is already unchecked. I appreciate the suggestion, all the same

 

Metered wifi and bluetooth

Wow - Thank you Bree for posting this! I've been searching for a fix to this since the "setup incomplete because of a metered connection" error started showing up for my Bluetooth headphone and was as not able to find a solution until finding your post with a clearly explained solution.
I had come across the Settings/Devices /Connected devices page, but since my headphone wasn't listed there I skipped making the change, and of course, there was no option under Settings / Devices /Bluetooth to make the change. It was non-intuitive (at least to me, and apparently the OP, Ivgandhi) until you pointed out that changing the setting under Connected devices should apply to all connected devices including Bluetooth even if the weren't listed.

  Are you able to pair the Bluetooth device on non-metered connection?

  What is the make and model of your computer?
  

I suggest you to remove the metered connection to non-metered connection and check if you are able to pair the Bluetooth speaker.
