Need help with data usage on cell phone bill!

I know that I can call verizon, my cell phone provider, but I won't be able to do that until tomorrow.  In the meantime, I thought I might get some words of wisdom from this board.  I have a phone plan with Verizon with 500MB of data.  I don't use any data, just talk and text, which is why the limit is so low.  I just looked at my account online and saw that I have a usage of .01 or .02MB of data everyday at the early morning time of 4:52, when I'm not even up.  Has anyone ever had that happen?  I know it will stay under the usage limit even if this happens everyday but it just makes me curious.  Talk and text records both show only my phone calls and texts.  TIA!

Verizon phone will backup to their Cloud to sync your contacts, etc. My phone uses data plan to backup.

As PP stated it could be from an auto back up to the cloud, but if you are at home and you have wi-fi you should not being using any data.
