Unexplained Data Usage

[subvend]

My usage history shows daily, unexplained data use during early morning hours - this is particularly weird because 1- it occurs while I’m asleep and 2, the phone is connected to wifi. 

Today while out of the house, stuck in pouring rain, I needed to use data to order an Uber only to be notified my data allocation was used up for the current billing cycle. 
Public Mobile, as service provider, is the only connection capable of forcing cellular data activation while the device is connected to wifi. 

What gives?

PM does not update the data usage constantly.  In fact, it only update it twice a day. 

So, any entry you see is just a total usage between that timestamp and the timestamp of the previous entry.  The early morning usage  you see on the Usage log does not mean it was used in the morning but a total usage for the last 12 hours.

Once your regular plan data is maxed out...your data just stops working until next renewal. If you regularly need more data, may I suggest you consider upgrading to a plan with...more data.
