Thanks, Gary; I was just wondering, since I think of mine as a typical small relay, and wondered if others had noticed the same differences.
Before December, my accountingmax was 3GB, I had to increase it to 8GB stop it from hibernating midday. Now it probably only uses about 3 or 4GB a day.
Again, I am not an expert, but I looked in to this on Relay Search. On the 2018-02-10 Tor version 3.3.2-alpha was released containing important DoS mitigation features and the number of users actually went up, then settled down a bit (under the 4 million mark it was earlier in the month). It wasn't until 2018-03-03 that several versions of Tor were released containing DoS mitigation back ports that the user numbers really lowered, now under the 3 million mark.
Of course I could be wrong and there could be other factors in play. Also for some unknown reason, when I checked yesterday Relay Search had no user data for 2018-02-28.
Thanks,
Gary
