@computergeek541thanks for the info. Dialing *611 worked. Need to select option 3 for 'review summary of add on usage'..it told me the correct data usage. Note to anyone else, you'll need your 4 digit PIN to access this area. If you don't remember I suppose you'll need to contact a PM admin to reset it.
also dialing *611 again a second, third time in a row didn't work for me after I hung up the first time. There's some sort of delay, you'll need to wait a min or so before you dial again.

Both the Public Mobile app and self serve website sometimes shows outdated information, so I would dial 611 from your phone and choose the option relating to data usage. That will provide a true number of the amount of data remaining on your account. If you have more than the text message is saying, you may ignore the message. Public Mobile has sent these kinds of text messages to some customres in the past in error.

I normally use wifi. I was out and about today and using more data (not wifi) than usual and that's when the text came in in the afternoon. So I would expect the text to come in later tonight if anything. It just seemed off/not accurate.

Data usage on PM website is reported once/twice per day usually early in the morning. So the PM data counter may not be matching your actual data usage yet (update 1 -2 AM?).
Is it possible that something happened data usage wise in the last 12 hours that would have accounted for this sudden usage.

@raahh Could be error message as those are. Not uncommon around here or you actually used it up , have you checked both app and website to see if it the same ?
