Both has downsides but I think daily is better, if it starts to get a lot traffic than it will serve the network for a few hours every day, but in monthly if it use the all available bw in 4 days, it won't do anything for 26 days. I'm sure you can get a better answer for it from someone who limits the traffic on his/her relay.

Hi,
I'm running a Tor relay on a cheap Linux vserver with high bandwidth. I have a traffic limitation of 500Gb per month and was just wondering what would be the best configuration for the network. Currently I've limited the traffic to a daily maximum to prevent it from hibernating a long time at the end of the month. Is this the right way to do it? Or would be better to limit it on a monthly basis.
Thanks for an answer! Johhher

That is quite a low limit for a monthly cap. If it is a high speed server it will consume the traffic within 5 days, after some time and it's known in the consensus and gains some flags.
I think you are better of putting accounting per day, a daily limit of 16GB should do it. Or, see if you negotiate with your provider unlimited traffic :) long shot worth to try
