Make sure you don't have ONEDRIVE backing everything up DAILY. That can use a LOT of data, and I have found several people who found it on their phone as well, backing it up daily.
Windows 11 OneDrive doesn't back up everything and is not done on a scheduled basis. OneDrive directory files are backed up every time they're changed. To prevent uploading heavy-use files multiple times daily, I created a corresponding non-OneDrive directory and a scheduled task to copy selected files from that location to the OneDrive directory once per day. Those files are then uploaded but only if they've been changed since the last time they were copied. If a restore is necessary, only changes made that day need to be re-applied.
iPhone OneDrive for iPhone automatically backs up photos and videos when your phone has a power source, is locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. You can turn off this automatic iPhone backup, but you can't change when it occurs. Remaining photos and videos can be uploaded when your phone is plugged in overnight. OneDrive uploads on an iPhone are one-time. When all existing photos and videos on your phone have been uploaded to OneDrive, only new photos and videos will be uploaded.
Android By default, Android OneDrive backs up photos and videos only, unless other folders are also chosen. Frequency is determined by OneDrive app settings.
If you take a lot of photos and videos, you might consider disabling OneDrive on your phone. If you're routinely close to or over the data cap, you should try to determine if data used when uploading new photos and videos for a month could be enough to push you over the data cap and cost you money.
