All of a sudden my phone has started using lots of data

I rarely use all my allocated 500mb of data a month unless I am on holiday. However this month by the 10th Feb is used it all. I increased my data allowance in 14th Feb and in 1 minute I’d used 500mb. What could be wrong.

Have you gone into the setting and disabled background app refresh? Also go into settings -> Cellular-> and uncheck any apps you don't use that would require data. I had that issue a year ago and didn't understand why all of a sudden I was consuming so much extra data. That worked for me.
