most hibernating relays wake up at the same time
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, most hibernating relays with daily quotas start relaying traffic at 0:00 local time. The timezone introduces some distribution but most relays are located in UTC +02:00 so most of them start relaying at 22:00 UTC. If you run a hibernating relay and want to spread your resources more evenly you can set a non-default AccountingStart time, simply choose HH:MM in that setting as you wish. (yes, AccountingStart != wakup time, but in practice it is the case for most hibernating relays with daily quotas) If someone has stats on when the tor network needs most bandwidth during the day it might makes sense to set AccountingStart accordingly - - to add bandwidth when most users need it. (but bw doesn't seem to be an issue currently..)

If you run a hibernating relay and want to spread your resources more evenly you can set a non-default AccountingStart time, simply choose HH:MM in that setting as you wish.
NOTE: If you require your relay to not use more than X GB within one day (0-24) for accounting/billing reasons (i.e. ISP resets traffic counter at 0:00 local time), you should not change the AccountingStart time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVw9rhAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0qW0QAISSywoVMdYJAFwjqMBs42Jx fpU5APtjWGQnc1jK9cIi8uTh7XNTF16ToGrGALkt6N03Py2XMICLz51H/C4NdP7/ yjIEnQ3HhdTc0yq570r0poe2VNADVAtwaRyAdUj2uhQjstY3kJ4qav7xexw05jTd 3eHTQ+yrTnW0f4piG8B2iLUNUKSrmAAaIecwpJNDz1weVVCYBtWU29Qw01vBcYz1 nxVqSR9cuataJe3l1qG6otySGX3sRkOnSnveOMQNFYAIICS5wYXdqJZ74xy4Z5Y8 UU37nOC/+mhh0FBDjNeo4sIa9Dp5gv00KLbFAEA37KIvZJPjwL5sV8KklnOYVMDv rAU+JI7Q+Dxxa4nQPXlPvaJKUs9EgEJUWrznK4+djFTWs+9RnaF+0BBEE9+GqPdD uT/SIo/0UjSK4HnxU/8QkWaSTOncxzmvEoYbwtYemBWhc7d9X4ouWulCGmaJV3M1 42tdAhHNCWZdzzOxXn3THdlJsC31yaOQWdYVd2bjsu9Nml1Tzzo1MG70Mn8H5RK7 NLXIb3Vxor2f/dPkavniBM5R3vpEtNiWzMkuSNjA+738wSfpZtPAsrNgI1G/vD+K oXMrMDgGeclXBLdiGDfJh03eWdmmttyIF8JXp2yILcWsCxJ0TAzmVb5vH2XxYK3u VOPACydO/DzFLxapKn1N =wnri -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Good observation Nusenu
when the tor network needs most bandwidth during the day it might makes sense to set AccountingStart accordingly - - to add bandwidth when most users need it.
Would it be possible for dozing relays to be brought in to action by the Tor network when needed? Robert

In reality this is not the case for most hibernating relays with daily quotas - see the onionoo data linked in the ticket that shows how many wake up at the same second (00:00:00 local time). ..but I agree that this is not a big deal just another observation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVxRxhAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0mkYP/2jVgNb5dRmPntTDUi2axg5K KP0/eJQHswkpGLlddQm8U3QBZ486ofmwiALX75vBv9cIilPThJ+8Y4jZYjypVQ8b 8M6q8VysTPWv6oTTezdZ9YkoWreztdc7g9x3RFbh2zNkIVWyT6+scfhtHgNAdNJg FUcJCTKM6KB4PI3EZtgzpZFWGYBTbzU7vgFo/jvD0BzucvVZgao+Tbuk5N/BC1Gz id2pmi/A9j5BMI5OegrKNG1IKsqppLzWVwOSX95J5gjRDrCsWECBVHPokp1Zu57j kakmdfGP0+h6TKbBIM/H/rPXNItcyksxRmePwfk/GUvvPB9fBTribPfUMS/7Y2d4 R/UUTlbImtvFmQtAil0e/hzc0FhO3deua7AMO5xrCLg0rlHV/QesMvhmcH4pBSEz VMEIcohV+CUKUeRlrjJ994MXNtrQ8EwYO9DyQpuBYwZ6busmDk57EtN95uSYdaVN wxDIi26YMFZ5gNvjuNQOUIjo2p1pCOkZZkjNcpt+gWmmur4qZF0RSO5a90DzqIMj yhuJhTJxq7deTk1bgcNHXHSNJbGLHyPM3Jiom8LZNFY6GkiampojYnTe+3v9EqCF Jsj3nms7z0g85jvL8KWLIyMbe22ogtj9cTPiQwIMzSFCYPfcHIiITSgnuNB7M0mg cJZLdsQ6EJ+1aFNIv4Uu =1OgD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
