Inaccurate Data Usage Reporting

Your data automatically resets for the first 20 days at some random period of hours.
This is done as a courtesy to ensure the system is working correctly, and allow you to update virtually every piece of software you own without blowing your data cap. lol.

That is interesting if it is true, and I would appreciate it as it would be a nice benefit to new customers. It does sound odd though, and I question whether it is true given the fact that no customer support rep has mentioned it at any point - especially given the issue I've described. It also wouldn't explain all of the issues I've seen. The different reporting tools should still show the same information even if the data had been reset. The tools should still have data that adds up within them (see windows data meter details not adding up to summary) even if the data had been reset.

Well, it's true, and enjoy it because 10G/mo isn't going to last long if you do any video streaming. I can tell you that general software maintenance and incidental use for two macs, two iphones, and an ipad is at least 20G/mo with no streaming, IoT devices, or satellite TV boxes connected.
"That is interesting if it is true,"
It is true; why would Mark make it up? It should have been in the email you get when you sign up.
