New description:

 Could a TotalTraffic option similar to AccountingMax be added?
 I know, it isn't to hard to divide by two, but you usually need
 to limit the sum of upload and download to not exceed your
 traffic limit.

 Maybe the description of AccountingMax should also be changed to
 make it clear, if one, either upstream traffic or downstream
 traffic exceeds the limit Tor will hibernate.

Comment:

 I'd personally favor an interface like "AccountingRule sum" or
 "AccountingRule max",  to say whether the accountingmax applies to
 sum(r,w), or max(r,w).   Moving this to the 'unspecified' benchmark; it's
 a fine thing to merge if somebody wants to implement it.
