Unexpected high data charged on shock-free data plan

Can you suggest some advice for me?

This afternoon I never got the 100% data used text, but landed on my account and stumbled upon a fee for 78$ (looking at data usage that was a period of 20 minutes!) and see that my data had been used. To be clear, I knew I was getting close to my limit (my home internet wasn’t working, but I checked at 10:20 and it said I had less than 29GB used but that must have not been quite right because I started getting charged at 10:31.) I had been poking around trying to figure out how to TOP-UP my data. Nothing was working.

I am worried or wondering it I may have clicked on something I shouldn’t have without noticing… I went onto a short work teams call, and then went back to trying to sort out the top up and stumbled upon the fact I had 78$ of charges! I’m really hoping someone can help me sort that out -- I have never gone over and am always vigilent and maybe made an error this time and hope there is something that can be done.

Login to self serve and go to your data settings, do you see notifications checked for 50%, 90%, and 100% usage?

It just shows up in the “usage details” and now has risen to 117$! I can’t understand.
