On the 15th of the month I had 60 percent of my data allowance left, no on the 25th of the month I am out of data. My computer use has not changed at all. I have been noticing this happening every month for the pst 6 months. It really looks like it is intensional on the part of HN.

If I'm not mistaken, there were two MS Office updates (one around the 13th, another a couple of days ago) and two cumulative W10 updates this month. Plus phone apps are just about updating once a week now.
HughesNet is not taking your data, nor are they reducing the data you have available.
If the only thing you have connected to HughesNet is a Windows based computer, it makes it very easy. Take a look at Glasswire, which monitors the data used, and what uses it, on the Windows based computer it's installed on. Glasswire is free.
If you have more than a Windows based computer connected and you need more in depth help with figuring out what could be using the data, please create a new post in Tech Support.
Edit: I should add that Glasswire can only monitor the data used going forward. It can't deduce what's already been used. Still, it can be a very useful tool, especially if the high data usage is an ongoing issue.
