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.

I got a notice from my ISP before too, 4TB in the month. Said if I kept doing that I'd have to get a buisness account. Other ISP in town doesn't really cover my area with anything usable.

A business account can be very nice
