Thank you for responding. The only device is my desk top computer and I have never had any issues like this before. Is there a way I can try to find what is causing the usage? Thanks for your help.
Install Glasswire on your desktop PC. That will tell you what's using data on that PC.

I tried multiple times to install Glasswire but I keep getting a DLL error and the program will not work. I did find something in my Device Manager in unspecified devices. It is called Fitbit Base Station and is some kind of input device. I have never seen this before and have never personally downloaded anything like that.There is no program that I can find associated with the device on my computer and can't remove it. Could this device be the source of my data loss? If so, are you aware of any way of removing it? Thanks.

Do you use a Fitbit?
As for the DLL error, you may have corrupt files that are messing up the computer. If you're on Windows, you may want to run the System File Checker.

I don't use a Fitbit and have never heard of one. It is just now listed in my devices as an unspecified device. I wonder where did this thing come from! There is no information on it when I check the properties. I will run the System File Checker and thanks for responding.

Unless you've used a Fitbit device before with your computer, including a USB dongle, that shouldn't be there. That you're also missing a dll file is a bit odd.
If you're familiar with the process, you might want to consider performing a clean install of Windows, as it's possible something nefarious is going on with your system.

I have never used a Fitbit device and have no knowledge of what it does. But it is right there as an unspecified device and there is no information on it when I check the properties. I will check into the clean install of Windows option. All this is strange and started when I started using the Iphone 15+ but that doesn't necessarily mean any casual relationship. I am now down to about 3% data and the new cycle starts in about 6 hours. Thanks for responding.
