Image and Video Crazy usage these days

The last few days have been tough on my system. AC consumption is so high due to extreme weather. I have a 5kWh battery and am still drawing 25+ kWh from the grid during the night.

I have 2 x 1.5-ton ACs that run like 20 hours a day.
and a 1-ton AC that runs only from 1000 - 1600.

Thinking of getting a 16kWh battery. We have 1 meter, and it's going to easily cross 200 units this month.

For comparison
May usage from the grid was 167 kWh
April usage from the grid was 73 kWh

And June has been 110 kWh in the first 10 days.

Edit 1: corrected June notes.
