debian 12.11, organic maps from flatpak.
My local organic maps started to download the whole world. Every single map it could find. I tried stopping it but the only way to achieve that is to turn the application off. On starting it again, it resumes downloading.
Why?
The android based version found on f-droid is easier to use. I wanted to use the desktop based one because I work from home more often than elsewhere.

Are you positive it's all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?
Also sidenote, look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps

Unfortunately I don't know how yo help with your original question then.
CoMaps is a recent fork because Organic Maps shows signs of corporate takeover and going against the principals of FOSS More details here https://lwn.net/Articles/1024387/

The desktop version feels more like a prototype to help with development/debugging then an actual user-facing app. (especially given how all the debugging stuff is right there in the main toolbar)

File a bug or issue with the project. I assume the desktop version does this by default because it's not expected to have offline detection functionality.

It's not by default, I've used it before and it worked fine
