Huge spike in data usage after moving to AOKP.

In the past four days or so, I've gone from 2GB to 3GB of data usage and gone over my limit.
I have rarely left the house in the past four days, and I've been connected to wi-fi the entire time.

Data usage was left on, but doesn't the system prioritize wi-fi, anyways?

I've gone ahead and installed Onavo to find out what's going on once my data cycle restarts, but I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what might've happened.

Check your wifi settings. Make sure "keep wifi on during sleep" is set to Always.

I've not noticed any data spikes although I haven't been closely monitoring or testing with various roms. If you think it's related to the rom somehow you'll have to test it on your own.

Over the next couple days, when you go to sleep or are on wifi, keep a log of your data usage. First day keep wifi and data on. Next day keep only wifi on. Record the hours of which wifi was on and see if there is any significant data usage during those hours. If you have a backup with your previous rom then perform the same steps. Compare results.

After my plan resets, I'll go ahead and do that.
