I figured thats how it worked but I wasnt sure. So mine would be 13th to 13t.I was thinking theres no way they started the data cyle over now and expect me to last until Jan 31st. Lol

If you're on the 20GB plan, you should not use more than an average of a little over half a GB per day.

    I try not to.. But with my pc hardwired in, 2 phones, and Google Home I might use a  almost gig a day.

      There's a bonus period between 2am and 8am where you should have an extra 50GB for the month. If you can tell your devices not to auto-update, then manually do it before 8am, you can significantly drop your anytime usage.

      Just be aware you're going to run out of data if you use that much a day. You may have to buy tokens or move some things (like downloads) to the Bonus Bytes portion of the day (2 to 8 AM local time).  We all get an extra 50GB for use during those hours.
