My electric has been nuts since my sump pumps have been running 24/7 for 4 months now or something, i wish the rain/snow melt would ease up for a fucking week or two.

If you've got a sump running 24/7, you need to investigate that. Even if the water is being removed, that kind of flow is NOT good. The sump should only be used for keeping shit dry, not "every time it rains" and certainly not all winter long.

My window wells have drainage tiles that drain into the interior sump to be pumped into my septic system. So If you account for that and the fact we haven't had 2 days in a row without rain since mid October, yeah it runs a good bit
