Yep.

I hope we did not just talk but understood each other

What value are you dividing by 1024?
The number of bytes (ublocks * 512)? This would be bad idea.
The number of blocks (ublocks from /proc/diskstats? This would also be bad idea.
Just get the number of blocks and assign
let uMB=$(($ublocks / 2048))
this will assign the number of MBs (not rounded, so 1MB deviation possible).

Not so unusual. I get my swap space (now 2x 1,5GB filled up in one day with heavy browsing, mailing and a few more phone calls). So reaching 2GB after 1 day is possible.

One hint here for all swap checkers:
make your partition as big as you are willing to spent.
My swap usage is growing and growing. After 10 days I had more than 400MB swap usage. So with a default 768MB space a swaparound was triggered almost after a few hours and a few times a day.

Above will work. There will be no need for another solution.
TB=TeraByte, i.e. 1000GB
I do not think we will reach that amount of used swap. Even after a year uptime
