Otherwise, from these defaults, it sounds like Tor's one hour timeout on client TLS connections seems reasonable, and perhaps not worth raising, since even if we were using padding and keep-alives, the flow data would still record a fresh byte count record + timestamp every 30 minutes?

Also check out https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6799#comment:6 which got merged into Tor 0.2.5.5-alpha: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/ChangeLog?id=tor-0.2.5.5-alpha#n9 where we randomize the time before we close an idle TLS conn.
