Data usage higher than it should be.
I've noticed the same thing. My data usage is absurd and it shouldn't be. I think T-Mobile changed something and they're showing that we're using way more data than we are. Something isn...
If you are domestically roaming then you will see weird usage because the towers not controlled by T-Mobile doesn't real time send data usage to T-Mobile. It can take up to 2 months at times for it to show up. Most plans with limited data plans often have a cap per month of domestic roaming in where the roaming provider governs. What is reported by partners will not always show up till much later or at times may be higher than what you think it should be.
One thing i noticed about data meters on phones are often HIGHLY inaccurate. For example look at your Google Play Services it CAN use 2GB of data a month and often it only shows a few hundred MB of data in the foreground.
This goes with ALL carriers in the US and some other countries. If you ever us a desktop computer while using tethering you computer drastically uses more data than you think you are using. My desktop currently used 2.1GB of data in less than 24 hours. For most of the day it was just one with the monitor just turned off. For this month as well as windows patch day I've literally hit over 90GB.
