I would like to know how much data I’ve used downloading updates in the past month. I update exclusively through the terminal if that matters.

You could easily write a bash script, which logs the updates in the format you want to (date, clock, packages, total size etc). Use awk to parse the size. Probably the hardest part is if you want necessarily to have those update sizes calculated with the script instead of doing that manually each time.
I’m interested in doing this, but not tech savvy enough. My best hacking skills were to make an alias in the .bashrc that let’s me update and autoremove with one command and uses lolcat for the beauty of it lol.
Could you point me to some training materials/instructions that would help me accomplish that?
