It is easy to use that much in an hour and not know. Bad apps can download videos in background to to play ads. App store could have autoupdates turned on. Phone might have downloaded a software update. I do not know if it is a glitch but using that much is not hard.
@cavemantoronto this is sadly true and apps can misbehave sometimes even when normally fine. This happened on my mother's phone last summer when Listonic (a list app we both use for groceries) must have gotten into a loop and used up I think it was nearly 200mb of data. At the time, her plan only had 500, and she also happened to be travelling in Ontario for a few weeks and staying with friends and family and didn't think to get on their WiFi. Her normally nominal usage with those two things combined pushed her into overage, though thankfully not by much and it only cost me (I pay for her cell service) I think it was $5 or $7 in overage. Most months she uses barely 100mb-200mb. I was also personally affected a couple of months ago when a site I visited in Chrome and left a page open from for a couple of days actually chewed through well over 1.5GB of my data over the course of a few days, all on its own before I noticed and killed it. Fortunately I had enough headroom to not run out of data, but got much closer than typical.
