Yes, but they'll come back eventually.

This is another question we see frequently. Until we get a FAQ or wiki entry for it, I'd encourage you to search the list archives for previous answers. There are good reasons to run a relay that's always on. Then again, there are also good reasons to run a fast relay. If you're very close to your bandwidth cutoff, why not decrease it slightly, and run all the time?

I've always settled on this solution when in that situation. Hibernation can sometimes work in unexpected ways, get interfered with by unexpected outages, etc. IME, it's far simpler and more reliable to have an always-on relay.
