Does turning off your screen while playing Pokemon Go with mobile data on take up ANY mobile data whatsoever?

I have a 250mb plan and would like to save as much data as possible. I have the samsung a32 5g.

I sometimes use it while on public transit and would like to know if turning off the screen while the app is running in the foreground will not use any data whatsoever since I don't get a vibration for nearby Pokemon.

Does anyone know if the battery saver screen also saves data or just power?

The battery saver mode simply dims the phone's screen, but keeps everything running in the background. As such, data usage will remain the same.
