Cellular data usage suddenly increase a lot

I developed an Enterprise app for a company which is running only in 4G network. There is only one application running in the device. The normal data usage is normally on average 200-300MB per month for each device for about 1 year already. The application and settings has not been changed after September. But it suddenly increase to about 1 or 2 GB per device since Nov.


To isolate the problem, I wipe out a device and setup as a new phone without any application installation. And I turn off the iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, Photo and wifi-assist (actually the device will never use wifi). To my surprise, the data usage is still very high, on average, it uses about 100-200 MB per day.


I checked the celluar data usage. Here is the data usage since 4 Jan 2019:


Current Period: 1.2 GB

System Services: 1.2 GB

Messaging Services: 1.1 GB

Document & Sync: 49.0 MB

Push Notificate: 3.4 MB

Time & Location: 2.9 MB


By the way, previously the iPhone is running iOS 10.3 and upgrade to 12.1 in Dec.


Need your help on how to debug the issue? Thanks.

Besides just describing the concern, it would help if you talked about the app itself.
