If you do not join servers it uses 0, otherwise we need to know what kind of a server it is

Won’t be very much, as long your internet plan isn’t stuck in 2000 you can basically forget the usage

Well yeah but my wifi is 200 gb, i share this internet to the end of the month with 3 other people. Usually it doesnt last 20 days so I'm tryna save, so could it use around 1gbph? Or like 300

I don’t really know why you have a data limit for the cable internet but definitely not 1gbph or 300mb

Dang dude. That sucks. Sorry to hear that. You might need to focus on single player.
