I had the same issue with normal Internet usage (capchas, etc.) and I was running a middle out of my home. I even got blocked from using Hulu because of the IP address. It wasn't even a full month of having a relay running. I have since switched to VPS. It is just easier and less hassle.

Im running an EXIT-relay on a hosted system for three month now.
At home i started with a raspberry about 3-4 years ago. I successfully fought 2 abuse complaints and had no problems with my normal internet usage at home.
4-5 month ago it started with more and more issues during normal internet usage at home.

I'd suggest to run an exit relay at some datacenter and not at home. It is not advised (generally) to run exits at home. Maybe turn your home line into some bridge and rent some server somewhere to run an exit relay.
