Why has my data usage went from 10 Gb a month to 40

2 iPhones using togather combined data of 10GB's per month, went to carriers store , was talked into a 30GB hot spot and every month since hot spot is racking up 40GB at 15 days of 30 and I have to shut it down and not have Internet for 15 days if I use more its 15$ per GB, I'm using the same amount of time on devices what could be eating up my data?

Make sure your not connecting your computer to your hotspot either.

Maybe your computer, or like others said your neighbors if your hotspot isn't password protected.

Password protection, also if you want to go the extra step if your hotspot is capable do a mac address filter; that way those devices are the only one connected to your hotspot.
