@GravitySpoiled Sorry to hear you're having problems. I also have a Pixel 6, have used OsmAnd for ~a decade and haven't seen anything too severe. The only maps I keep on hand are the World maps and the US state of California, including contour, hillshade supplements and the wiki. OsmAnd says it's 4.1 GB worth of data. I do have lots of free space on the phone though.
I did bulk up on this same phone when on a long bike tour a while back, adding the files for British Columbia, and the States of WA and OR in addition to CA, and their contours and wikis and performance was OK. I used it at freeway speed yesterday and it seemed to function fine. Wonder what's going on w/ your phone?

Customer service departments who do not teach their phone staff the universal phonetic alphabet and numeral pronunciation are doing a huge disservice to both their staff and the customers being served.

I'm overhearing the most painful call... and it's not with an overseas call center, I'm simply listening to the person next to me on the train try to speak with a Costco Vision employee about lens strength and frame model numbers...

Customer: "I'm looking at Alpha, November, India, Zero, Seven, Kilo, Niner, Sierra"

Employee: "Was that A, O, 1, 3, O, 7, N, Z?"

Customer: "Let's try that again..."
