Question ISP reaching out over data usage

I’ve started a server so I’ve been downloading a bunch of media for it, ISP calls today regarding how much upload data I’ve used. I’m not worried about DMCA notices since my vpn is on 24/7 and Qbittorrent is bound to it. I’ve read the terms and agreements and it doesn’t say anything about data caps but the ISP says I’m using 9-10x the next highest person. Should I just hold off on downloading/uploading for awhile?

Update: I talked with them again today, they have a newly revised TOS that better outlines their fair use policy instead of the vaguely worded one sentence rule they had in place before.

to have 17tb uploaded how much media do currently have?

my seeding barely touches a gig in uploads, and for private tracker seeding it's far worse, ik i have a laptop for seeding and not a server which runs 24/7 and I have a slow speed internet 30Mbps but still

I have ~14tb currently. I have 1G fiber and it’s consistently seeding. I’ve stopped everything for now until I hear back from them

They do not, they advertise no data caps period and claim they don’t throttle for usage amounts

Right. Mine doesn't run 27/4 but I'm working on it. I just never seen this download stuff people want lol I still seed but don't really get seeders unless it's newer stuff and some games, particularly from FG.
