Re: [tor-relays] Few questions about relaying

after a few hours, still hibernating, and still wondering why I lost Stable, Guard and Named all at the same time (see atlas graph)... weird.

no reason for my node to be hibernating, no caps...

and ... what is "hibernating" ?

See AccountingMax and related options in tor manpage:

   AccountingMax N bytes|KBytes|MBytes|GBytes|KBits|MBits|GBits|TBytes
       Never send more than the specified number of bytes in a
       given accounting period, or receive more than that number
       in the period. For example, with AccountingMax set to 1
       GByte, a server could send 900 MBytes and receive 800
       MBytes and continue running. It will only hibernate once
       one of the two reaches 1 GByte. When the number of bytes
       gets low, Tor will stop accepting new connections and
       circuits. When the number of bytes is exhausted, Tor will
       hibernate until some time in the next accounting period.
       To prevent all servers from waking at the same time, Tor
       will also wait until a random point in each period before
       waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling
       hibernation is preferable to setting a low bandwidth,
       since it provides users with a collection of fast servers
       that are up some of the time, which is more useful than a
       set of slow servers that are always "available".
