Data usage in middle of nighr

Until now I've only used approx 2GB of my 6GB allowance - I'm prepaid. I've just got warning I'm near the 6GB mark and have downloaded pdf of usage and there's big chunks of usage, 300mb-ish, in the middle of the night a few different nights. Could this just be updates or is there something else accessing my data I need to check?

 

PS it would be great to see amt of data used on MyATT w/o needing to d/l pdf each time 

 

Thanks

Your daily usage is reported back and posted to your account in 3 hour intervals with an up to 72 hour delay.  It is not live usage.  Nothing is accessing your data but you.  It’s not updates.  If you have WiFi at home, your phone would actually stop using your mobile data in favor of the WiFi connection (unless it’s lousy WiFi). 

You can add 3 gig data packages for $20 if you run out.  Do not change to unlimited until the end of your 30 days. Turn off auto pay so it does not refill before the due date on you.
