I noticed this too, thought it was strange my phone was using data when I was on wifi.  Does seem to be as hTideGnow says they update our usage once a day at that hour.

HI @BibiBunny 

you didn't used those data that time, just PM posted cumulative usage two times a day.

@BibiBunny 

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.

Also, for correct usage reading, always use Incognito mode to login My Account to avoid reading cached old info

My wifi assist was disabled the whole time.

@BibiBunny  Note PM updates its usage 2x a day so your seeing time stamped usage being updated when hour asleep but that was for the prior 12 hours used . If you have iPhone turn off wifi assist . With wifi on you can still use cellular day if wifi assist is enabled . Short of turning off cell data completely
