Your router might keep track. (Mine does. 115GB transferred in the last 30 days.)

Well if you have Windows 10 I believe it can track usage on its own. That is under the Windows 10 settings app under Network & Internet.

I believe that 8.1 and 10 can both mark a connection as "metered" to minimize background data use as well.
