Well, Tor-relay-debian says 250KBps (bytes): https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian.html.en

And 'b' (bits) is the proper context that network hardware and network applications use, not 'B' bytes.
Welcome to Linux culture!

No wonder users and operators are perpetually confused about what rates are, which rates have significance in tor, and how to configure them.
See prior posts links wikipedia for using units / prefixes.
