100 Megabits per second is a reasonable RBR setting for a reasonable relay.

Most likely though you don't want to be running a 100 Mbit/sec relay on Google Cloud, as their bandwidth pricing is outrageous, starting at $85 per TB: https://cloud.google.com/network-tiers/pricing Elsewhere you could get an entire high-spec dedicated server with an unmetered connection for that price. Yes even if not counting OVH, Online and Hetzner.

In fact personally I'm can't come up with justification to run *anything* on Google Cloud with such pricing, as multiple other (many orders of magnitude cheaper) options exist.
