High usage during the 10am hour after your husband got ready for work and you’ve just done laundry— washer, dryer, hot water heater recovering?
No other units/tenants in the building that could be sharing your electricity?
What if you do something energy intensive at a certain time of the day, like run your oven for 20 minutes? Are you able to see the spike in Energy Manager?

That specific 10am example, no one showered that morning and no appliances had been run except for the coffee machine at 730. The laundry was washed the day prior waiting to be folded.
We are in a single family home.
In the evenings we cook dinner, give our baby a bath, wash dishes, and shower ourselves. That shows a moderate increase that correlates with the Energy Manager.
ETA- the spikes I’m talking about are sustained usage of 4-5kwh. There is no correlation, especially the recurring 4am one.
Our usage has remained double our normal amount since July of last year. Nothing about our lifestyle has changed and all of appliances have been checked.

Something must be running during that 4am hour. Selectively turn off stuff in the breaker panel and try to find out.
Turn off the electric hot water heater (if you have one) before bed, see how everything looks that next morning. Turn it back on at a recorded time and check the usage.
Then try with the range/stove, and other big appliances.
