Woah it’s not just me. Yeah I noticed this. It was a tiny amount so I didn’t bother me but I did wonder if my site had been busier than usual this month.

I'm running a nanode for a few personal projects and their dashboard was showing something close to 8mbps since 05/29/2024. Went almost 2TB over for the month of June. Nearly 4x'ed my bill. It's not a lot, but it seems like someone's use case like mine (streaming music) could have easily exploded their monthly compute budget on this.

Just checked with nethogs, the VPS averages ~250kbps, so this is a near 32x increase in reported bandwidth usage on my end.
