Inaccurate Data Usage Reporting
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.
MarkJFine - cool, thank you. Do you get accurate reporting of your data usage after 20 days using the tools I've mentioned?
I would still like to hear from someone on the discrepancies I've noted.
As far as I can tell, I've used the My Account->Usage here, the iPhone app, and the Usage Meter for the Mac, and they were all pretty close to each other - I think w/in a 1MB. If I recall, not everything had the same resolution. Some were in GB, and some rounded up to save space. But the data itself all comes from the same place so I find it hard to believe there would be such a huge discrepancy.

Once the twenty days of resets are over the data amounts displayed with each source will more accurately match, though they may not show as exactly the same due to different methods of rounding, as Mark noted.
