I started an exit relay on Saturday. Last night I took a look at the log and I saw something like 30 active circuits at the heartbeat and the relay had passed a few tens of megabytes. I just logged in and saw 8,000 active circuits at the heartbeat and > 2 GB passed. Is it normal for an exit relay to suddenly ramp up like that? Just curious.
That is normal, a new relay is in the ramp up phase for 2 weeks. https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay
