Comment (by teor):

 Tor will hibernate for a random interval if it thinks you might exceed the
 quota in the period, even if you didn't exceed it in the last period.

 `we expect to exhaust our quota for this interval around 2017-10-21
 20:52:28; the next interval begins at 2017-10-24 00:00:00`

 It looks like that's what is happening here: I think this is a feature,
 not a bug.
