My requests and bandwidth were also quite more than expected; in my case it had to do with non-human bots visiting the site, which triggered the code of the page just like a regular visit, which means my queries ran.
I was in a position where I could safely keep them from visiting without adversely affecting the site. If you have or can create/track some sort of log mechanism, pay attention to where the visits are coming from and, if possible, the user agents. There may be an opportunity to trim the fat ( just make sure you still allow responsible/moderate and probably-necessary bots like Google to visit )
We were headed for 25/mo between bandwidth and requests and now it's probably going to be 2 to 4.
