I thought about it, the best solution for me will be to change Bandwith settings during working hours using crontab.
I will prepare two separate configuration files with different Bandwidth settings and using it, two times per day cronjob will increase/decrease bandwith for TOR. This should be the best solution in that case.
ok , if I will replace configuration file with the new settings, do I need to reload or restart my tor node ? I do not want to loose my active connections. How to do it properly ?
Yes this can work. A tor reload is enough to apply the new bandwidth settings.
Not sure how fast you will ramp up during the night though (if at all), e.g. if the bandwidth authorities measure your relay during the day and get a very low number.
