What is everyone's monthly usage? Does 500 GB seem high? We have two young kids, so there is not a ton of time to be streaming Netflix or Prime video, and I've been working at home since December when the numbers were at 250 GB so I don't think it's that.
Trying to unravel the mystery as we only have 550 GB on our plan and we are suddenly close to going over.

You mention the consoles aren't connected to the wifi but are they possibly connected with an ethernet cord? If you have auto-update turned on for games it can add up quick.
Another thought is maybe you are now streaming 4k instead of 1080p which would see a significant bump in usage. Streaming 1080p for an hour is around 3.1GB while 4k streaming is around 7GB an hour.
