The main one is to turn off mobile data when connected to wifi at home or work as the iPhone reverts to mobile data when 'sleeping'.

 

Close down any apps that are data hungry and set to download data over wifi only where possible

iPhone 14 Pro (O2 ), S23U (EE), iPad Pro LTE (EE), .

You'll get a number of suggestions but no one has really got to the bottom if this issue fully.
if you search the forum you'll find a few threads on the subject.

Hi.

Look here to see what's using your data.

Data usage on iPhone.
Settings - Mobile - shows each app usage at the bottom.
