59Mb Data usage system services in five hours

When looking at mobile data usage system services seem excessively large, in location settings I’ve turned off everything in system services I don’t share analytic data location services turned off, I’ve turned off Siri and search for every app, turned off everything in iCloud, Wi-Fi. Bluetooth turned off dial assist crash detection, emergency sos, setting time, deleted maps, health, don’t use find my, turned off meta data location for Photos, wi-Fi assist, dictation off been through every app permission etc. In four hours today when barely using my phone system services 60 MB. System services and in the list mapping services find my time and location iCloud I was just wondering why these would be in the list when I have them all disabled and location services turned off and is this normal data usage in four hours?

I’ve read through the emergency SOS Privacy page, I have all options turned off in settings for SOS. What’s the point of these options? and surely it should only use mobile data when making an emergency call not all the time I am not reading it correct?

No, I don’t use iCloud. I don’t use find my phone I’ve disabled it. I don’t have no map app on my phone weather/health app etc every possible option you’ve given regarding location services from SOS dial assist camera location meta data i’ve disabled Siri and search for every app disabledautomatic update .If you have find my iPhone turned off and location services turned off you would think It wouldn’t use data but it doesn’t seem to be the case, I didn’t move all afternoon. I was sitting at my desk Bluetooth off Wi-Fi off.
