I thought I had the same problem. I averaged only 250MB per month until July 2017. It is only halfway through the month and I am already above 920MB. Whaaaa'?
I read all the forums and tried all the solutions. Using Safe Mode to see if it was a 3rd party app (nope). Restricting background data. Changing internet browser apps.... EVERYTHING!
It finally hit me today what the problem is. Math. Yup, I looked at the numbers and they do not add up. I know I have used 2300MB data, but if you look at the top apps, the usage adds up to 3020MB. And which app was the data hog? Android OS, at 900+ MB. Subtract the Android OS and you come close to my correct usage.
This came to me when I noticed Android OS would use data whenever I texted a pic or looked at a Facebook page.
I have solved my problem. Hopefully this solves yours as well.
