Both has downsides but I think daily is better, if it starts to get a lot traffic than it will serve the network for a few hours every day, but in monthly if it use the all available bw in 4 days, it won't do anything for 26 days. I'm sure you can get a better answer for it from someone who limits the traffic on his/her relay.

Hi,

I'm running a Tor relay on a cheap Linux vserver with high bandwidth.
I have a traffic limitation of 500Gb per month and was just wondering
what would be the best configuration for the network.
Currently I've limited the traffic to a daily maximum to prevent it from
hibernating a long time at the end of the month.
Is this the right way to do it? Or would be better to limit it on a
monthly basis.

Thanks for an answer!
