Remove the connect-time startTime assignment so bandwidth starts at the first data.

Now that onConnect runs, line 48 sets startTime when the channel opens. The startTime == 0 guard in onRead (lines 56-58) then never passes. Bandwidth and the status output include the idle time between connection and the first data. Remove line 48 so onRead starts the timer when data arrives.

Suggested fix 

         frameErrors = 0;
-        startTime = esp_timer_get_time();
         buffer.clear();

Remove the connect-time startTime assignment from onConnect so it remains unset
when the channel opens. Preserve the startTime == 0 guard in onRead, allowing
the timer to begin when the first data arrives.

Guard the status reads and callback writes with one lock, matey.

The status loop in app_main reads connected, totalBytesReceived, totalFramesReceived, and startTime with no synchronization. The NimBLE host task writes these fields in onRead() and onDisconnect(). Since onConnect() now sets connected, the loop runs during normal use. A status line can mix counters and startTime from different connections. For example, a read can see startTime reset to 0 by a disconnect and print a bandwidth computed from a since-boot elapsed time. Protect these fields with a common lock or portMUX in the callbacks and in the status loop.

41:
Protect connected, totalBytesReceived, totalFramesReceived, and startTime with
one shared lock or portMUX across onConnect(), onRead(), onDisconnect(), and the
status loop in app_main. Hold it while callbacks update these fields and while
app_main copies them into a consistent snapshot, then calculate and print status
from that snapshot.
