I have noticed the same. I have been working from home since mid-March, kid is doing CBE Hub learning from home, etc. but my usage continues to climb month over month since fall. Shaw lets you see the last 6 months of usage on your account page.
Obviously the autumn would see a jump because school was starting up and we started spending more time indoors, but each month since then has seen an increase of about 100-150 GB over the month before it. Yet we don't seem to be watching more Netflix, or more video calls, or doing more work/school than before.
Ultimately I don't really care because I have unlimited usage, but it does make me wonder what we've changed about our habits as fall has progressed.
