Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
My system service general has been using a lot of data in a very short time, it used over 280 MB in under 4 hours today. How do I fix this? I’ve already turned off automatic updates, wifi assist, and turned on low data mode.

I don't think the data shown is for 4 hours. It is for the period. Ask your Carrier for the period-wise data usage. You are not charged for the data consumption based on what is disaplayed on your iPhone.

Just to clarify, it's important to understand that a single SIM card can actually be used across multiple devices. This means that you can consume data from any device, including Android devices.
All the data consumption associated with that SIM card is consolidated in one central location: your trusted carrier. It's worth noting that your carrier will bill you based on this consolidated information. Therefore, if you need a comprehensive breakdown of your usage, I would recommend reaching out to your carrier and requesting a detailed itemized bill.
By doing so, you'll have a clear overview of your usage across all the devices you've used with that SIM card, ensuring transparency and accuracy in your billing.
If you're using an Exchange ActiveSync account, it may continue to use mobile data even if you've turned it off for Mail and Calendar. To see the mobile data usage of your Exchange ActiveSync account, go to Settings > Mobile Data > System Services.
The last data reset was March 23, the day I took the screenshot. I will look into getting a detailed breakdown from my carrier, thank you.
