It should be "every month" rather than "everyday".
I am not a node runner, but I think it was weekly that I saw when I went through an article 2 years ago about it. Likely 5 gigabyte or more every week was what that I saw.

I went through this article just now: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#minimum-requirements

When the full blockchain download was still around 340 gigabytes, the monthly download usage specified in the article was 200 gigabyte or more monthly.

Download usage is around 20 gigabytes a month, plus around an additional 340 gigabytes the first time you start your node.

I see. I initially thought you talk about bare-minimum requirement to download all new blocks. Number you mentioned is correct if OP or other reader intent to use Bitcoin Core as full node rather than only as wallet.
