I have used up all of mine available bandwidth for this month. The problem is I usually use 6-7gb/daily, but today jumps to 60GB. How is that possible? I check my website stats in histats and google analytics and visitos are the same, everything is normal like always. How to see where the bandwidth came from?

I believe this might be a scenario where Awstats could be useful. It has a bandwidth stat.

Cloudflare or a proper CDN could be a quick-fix to using less bandwidth... It can take a rather large % of the total traffic used.

Barring that, switch hosting! An allowance of under 500GB is rather small.

I agree with Sam - that's a rather low monthly bandwidth allocation; consider either a provider who offers more bandwidth or ask your current host for an upgrade (on the house).
 
I might recommend you to analyze the root cause of rapid bandwidth hike and resolve it, otherwise you may face the issue again. As stated above you can use awstats option to find the bandwidth usage. Or you can analyze domain access logs.
