High bandwidth usage

I have unusually high bandwidth usage and don’t understand how this happened. Over the past half-month my average bandwidth was about 1 Mbps, so how could the VPS control panel report 2 TB transferred? The web panel’s network-history chart also shows a fairly steady ~1 Mbps.
What should I do?
Thanks!

have you tried using vnstat on your vps? it won't display the total use since it was not installed way before. anyways, the VPS control panel can be wrong hence i do not trust it.
Make sure your server is not compromised.
Double check you're monitoring the current Ethernet interface.
Does the control panel show the constant bandwidth still being used?
you can use some tools like iftop, nload, and vnstat to monitor traffict on the vps
Ensure that your VPS contains only your data and no third-party information or others. And monitor the system carefully.
I monitored the traffic for a few days. All is good. Hmm...
I will move the websites to another server, to check it further.
