I think the most important thing is to go through the settings on the device, any new device as well, look through the settings and adjust them based on your data plan, if you suspect an app might use a lot of data, turn it off.
High content apps like Facebook and Twitter try to cache data on the device so it saves your data plan, but unfortunately everyone want's to post a Biden-meme so you're constantly downloading high-space-consuming new content when you open the app.
Ride on just toggling Cellular data for apps off and if you find yourself reaching your quota too quickly after a few days or weeks, start turning off background services, the battery menu will help you, just look at which apps have the most time next to "minutes in background".
Figure out your settings and remember them. You'll likely want to go back and turn adjust those with restoring a device as new or new devices not being restored from iCloud or iTunes backups.
I'm trying to be helpful, and I know that some of these members ticked you off, they were a bit rude in my opinion. However, you cannot blame Apple or us for what you should be doing. Apple just sets the defaults to try and be helpful, they don't get a cut of the check from your carrier.
We are trying to help you, although some could word their posts better, and as for you, you were just where the rest of us were before we found out. It's just a bit of education, and I'm sure other members are looking at this post trying to figure out how they can cut back on their data usage. They just don't have anything helpful to say. You aren't the first, you won't be the last, and you're not the only one.
