How do I find per app records of network data usage in OS X and/or Chrome?
My laptop used up 1.4 GB from my mobile data in 30 minutes, which is quite unusual. When I opened the Network tab in Activity Monitor, the per app tracking just started, but the total Data received was at 6 GB. Is there a record of the data usage per app?

I have a suspicion that this is from Chrome. If it is, is there a record of per tab/domain data transfer in Chrome?

Yes, this information would be on the line of the process you are trying to monitor. For example you are looking for the data usage of Chrome so look for Chrome on the left, and under the "Rcvd Bytes" header is the amount of data used by the application since Activity Monitor was opened.

Thanks. Any way to look at history? The number only shows the number after I opened the Network tab.

Unfortunately this can't be done without a Chrome extension. You could download one like DataSaver, but it would only show the usage since the extension was installed.

If you like it easy and with a Graphical User Interface and Money isn't a Point, i would recommend you to take a look at LittleSnitch https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/ mainly it is a better Firewall for OS X but you can also use it to Monitor which Application is using how much of your Traffic.
Or if Money is a Point and you can life with a Command Line Interface Application, then take a look at nettop https://www.cnet.com/news/use-nettop-command-to-check-per-application-network-activity-in-os-x/
