android os - system data usage excess

"OS services" seems to be using excessive amounts of data 

i made a post yesterday claiming its data use on my phone data  

since then, the wifi has used another 10GB+  for "OS services" - its been using 6-7GB daily for this for the past 3 days

its totalled 20GB since the beginning of this month

i need to find out how to stop this - its draining alot of battery and data

 

thanks in advance

I know my iPhone did this on iOS 10.3.2 and it  turned out it was location services running in the background for each and every app allowed to use location. Could this be somewhat similar on Android?
