Data not resetting when I renew

I have a $35 legacy plan. I get 10 GB of high speed data with that each month. For the last few months, it hasn't renewed. Customer service keeps telling me inaccurate information. How do I get my data to renew each month?

Pro se keeps filing motions; judge might be hinting that I should file for attorney's fees

I have a divorce case involving a pro se litigant. The parties have little to fight over. She keeps filing motions and papers. The court heard one, ruled against her, and issued swift rulings on the remaining papers. (Two were improper peremptory challenges to bump the judge after he ruled against her). During the hearing, he threatened to have her removed from the court room.

The last two orders have come down before she could file a reply. They each include some variation of "the motion is frivolous" and "if petitioner believes the repeated motions are unreasonable, he may file a motion to seek recovery for attorneys' fees."

I feel like the judge is perhaps hinting that I should ask for my fees. Am I reading too much into this?

Edit: apparently not. Little context: the action is now in the post-divorce state. In every response to the pro se's motions, I ask for attorneys fees, and that's why I am a little confused. But I think you all are right.

I [32M] am the primary earner in my household. My wife [33F] does not work, but gets a small amount of child support from a previous marriage. She is supposed to pay the utilities and I handle everything else, and we both do grocery shopping as needed.

I learned that, for about six months, my wife had been spending a lot of money on her credit card, such that it had been maxed out. This happened because I never looked at her credit card statements and I only passingly paid attention to our bank accounts. She had hidden her spending from me by lying about it. She also hadn't consistently been paying the utility bill, so that I was basically shouldering every bill and most of the groceries. Most of what she bought was stuff off the internet. When I found out, I waited for the kids to go off to bed and then we had a big fight, she cried and promised she wouldn't lie to me about her spending anymore or hide it from me.

I started working extra hours to fill the hole and paid off the credit card from savings. We cut up her card and cancelled it. We decided she would only use cash from then on, and she would have to get it from me or the bank, such that I would know about it. I became paranoid after that. Any time I saw her with something I didn't recognize, I asked her how she got it. (She hid a lot of her spending by telling me they were gifts from friends and family). Yesterday, during a lunch date with her, I noticed a sandwich in her truck and became suspicious. A freaking peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I started asking her pointed questions over it, because she should have run out of cash for anything by that point, and it turned out she had actually been selling things to get cash. Mostly the junk jewelry she had bought off the internet. But she lied at first about where it came from and I finally got her to tell the truth. Again, big fight and then she cried and promised not to lie to me or hide her spending from me anymore. Four hours later, she lied again.

I doubt she spent much money that I don't know about, and certainly not on anything inappropriate. Mostly, she was buying fucking coffee, something we'd agreed she wouldn't do anymore after the maxed out credit card, especially since we have a very good coffee maker. But the problem is the lying. She keeps lying to me about the money, and I'm now keeping a grip on my wallet that feels unfair and wrong, and I'm getting suspicious over sandwiches, and that suspicion is being validated.

I think she knows enough by now that I am at my limit with her, so I think she is actually trying to be truthful, but I don't believe her at all anymore. How do I get past this and restore a little trust?
