I forgot to turn mine off (1Phone 5S) after using it... My data usage went through the roof, and I'm wondering if this was the issue.

Its like having a bowl of candy out. It won't empty if no one is there to pick candy out of it.
It will only use data if someone is connected to it and browsing the internet.
