It seems to happen from time to time. There are other threads as well mentioning the same thing. 99% of the time the meter catches up with your usage after a few days.

Mine seems to have frozen from the beginning of yesterday.

Happened a couple of months ago for 10 days, never caught up though.

A reboot of the router usually fixes it short term...

Many times yes.
There are changes happening that "Should" make these issues much less frequent, its just been a long piece of work.
