Been running core node for awhile, and finally noticed that there are terabytes of data to exchange.
Do you mean upload data? You can limit it with this command line option:
This is my setting (half a TB per day max), and there wasn't nearly enough demand to even get close to that.
I used almost 2.5 terabyte last year
Here it's not even metered (or at least my ISP doesn't show me). My own laptop uses slightly more than you do, and all other devices add to that. Video streaming also takes a lot of bandwidth.
They may have other restrictions for upload data, although all this sounds like a thing from the past.
My node shows almost 2tb over the last week or so!
How did that happen? Mine, running on a high bandwidth server, uploaded only 2 TB per month. That made me believe there's plenty of nodes providing upload bandwidth.
Could it be you're in a location where not many people upload? Is that still a thing? 2 TB is enough to get 3 new nodes through the IBD.
