Dear Keifer,
I run a small relay at home as well. (I've never had more than 4,000/4,500 connections, and my home router seems to have had no problem.) However, guessing from the tor docs on my ISP that I should keep my monthly throughput to 1TB or so, I put some daily bandwidth limits on it. Before the dos mitigation came out a couple of months ago, I would hit the limits every other day or so, and my relay would shut down until midnight. So I never had a stable flag for months, and still had plenty of traffic.
HTH,
--torix

Thank you. However another thing that is confusing me a little is that based off of my research, relays without the stable flag shouldn’t recurve much traffic; mine says it’s received a few gigabytes since the downtime 1 day ago. Thank you. It is acceptable not to have the stable flag and still be useful to the network correct? Thank you very much.

I guess not every relay has the stable flag, would be curious to know what the general percentage is
You can check with Tor Metrics how many relays have the Running
flag and how many have the Stable flag. By looking at the graph I
would estimate around 80% of Running relays have the Stable flag right
now.
