My data plan prioritized my bonus data before my own plan data

[Gidoza]

Simply put, I have 1.29 of 24 GB used as of this cycle starting today.  I don't watch videos or anything with data, usually just E-Mail and stuff so I'm not sure where even the current data use came from - but either way, copied directly from my page...

For the current cycle, of that 1.29 GB, 1.19 GB is my one-time data bonus, and 0.10 GB is from my plan.  Why would my data bonus be getting used up before my plan itself?  The whole point I get the bonus for is for AFTER my plan is used up...not before!

Thank you - it all makes sense now!

if you don't click Usage breakdown and just look at the Usage Odometer, then yes, it will show 1.2GB on day 1 of the cycle, but the total data would also be 24GB rather than your monthly data 20GB, ie, 1.2/24 GB 

just remember to click Usage Breakdown to see the actual usage without the bonus addon

Oh, so EVERY MONTH will start with a 1.2 GB usage for me as it were?

The bonus data is one time and doesn't ever reset, so if you've used up some of it in a past cycle it will continue to show that usage until it's fully used up. You must have gone over your plan's included data at some point in the past.
