Here goes.<br>
<br>
The relay was configured to turn off when 1TB of traffic was
reached. It did so way faster than I anticipated. Moreover, my VPS
host actually doesn't count inbound traffic as part of my monthly
limit. Since a TOR relay traffic is mostly symmetric, it does mean
that BWAccounting will still consider the inbound traffic as part of
the hard-limit.<br>
<br>
The old configuration was :<br>
AccountingRule sum<br>
AccountingMax 1000 GBytes<br>
<br>
That was obviously a mistake since the "sum" method meant that I
would hit the hard-limit really quickly. Here is the current
configuration that I'm testing. What I want is simply to reset the
accounting cycle on the first of every month. The max statement
should allow me to use 1.5TB~ of data (750 GB inbound / 750 GB
outbound) : <br>
<br>
AccountingRule max<br>
AccountingStart month 1 00:00<br>
AccountingMax 750 GBytes<br>
<br>
Now, since accounting also tracks the "old" data, is there a way to
"start anew"? To reset the data accumulated so far?<br>
<br>
I appreciate any help on the matter!<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

<br class="">
I rencetly had one of my relay fall into hibernation. It
seems that simply restarting the service doesn't change
the hibernation status since Tor is still thinking that
the BW limits have been overrun. Is the proper method to
reset the status of the node is simply to delete the
"state" file in "<i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>var/lib/tor<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>". For now, I just set
back to 0 the "AccountingBytesReadInInterval" and
"AccountingBytesWrittenInInterval" counters and the node
was able to wake up but that doesn't seem like a very
elegant way to do it.

<div>We might need a little more context: why are the accounting
