Clarification Request
Are you getting dinged for over usage now?

It's not possible to answer that question as there are variables. If you're worried about reaching the limit, you can try setting these videos to lower quality. That quality is one of the variables.

Since most video servers are smart enough to send the right resolution for your device, it depends on the device. For example, if that's a 4K TV more data is used than if it's a PC with a 800x600 screen.

So better use some tool (app, program) to measure what you really use. What app to use depends on what device you have.
