Monitor Network Usage by device per month

Good morning everyone, I searched the forums and could not find a answer to a question I am looking to solve. If its there please forgive me, I must have missed it!

I have a 15gig monthly data allowance from our sattelite internet provider. Yesterday our allowance reset and by 7PM we got an email saying we have used 70% of our monthy allowance... This is not an uncommon occurance. I checked to make sure all the PS4/Xbox's were off... My home computer was sitting idle, no updates or background downloads running... This happens every month.

My son has a cell phone, and I suspect he may be part of the problem - the provider can not provide much information.

Would the Gargoyle software work with my router (Netgear Nighthawk R7000) and be able to give me a list of bandwith usage by IP for the day/week/month?

This is exactly what gargoyle does.
But...

Your device isn't supported yet I'm sorry

But you could buy a new device

And it will probably pay for itself in the first month that you exceed your 15GB limit and get wacked by your ISP
