3500 GB = 1750 GB for a Tor relay. Can be gone in 1-3 days. ;-)
Traffic is always counted sum in + out
You may have more fun on a bridge. If you run a relay first, don't use 
the IP later for a bridge!

20-30 MiB/s Tor Relay consumes about 40-50 TB of traffic per month a few 
weeks after the 14-day ramp-up phase.:-(
That is why I am suspicious of some of the 50-90 MiB/s unnamed relays 
without contact.

VPN or root server with 20-40 MiB/s unlimited traffic is available for 
EUR 15-30,-/month.
