Internet data usage is unusually high

I have been an xfinity internet and mobile customer for over 7 years. I have never paid attention to my internet data since I never exceeded the 1.2TB cap, until August this year. It suddenly doubled my July's usage of ~800 GB to over 1600 GB and reached 90% by the 22nd of Sept. There are no new devices added to my network recently and have been using the internet same as always (no gaming etc.). I started to monitor my internet data usage with my wifi router and compared it with the xfinity meter. I found the xfinity meter number is shockingly bloated. For instance, on 9/28, my router shows <3 GB usage (I turned off modem for most of the day to save the data usage) but a live xfinity agent told me I used over 9GB for the same period, he admitted there is error on their meter, and opened an investigation.

This data overage has caused us a lot inconvenience and my family was forced to use more mobile data and got data overage mobile bill too. I hope xfinity can provide a clear explanation and solution.
P.S. We have no need or interest in the unlimited data plan based on our normal use.

My experience as well with home internet been with them 6 years and never had this experience of over usage every single month. It’s total ridiculous.. and searching for another provider right now.
