You do not have the stable flag currently, which might influence the
bandwidth.

I do have a traffic limit of 10 TB/month, for that the following config
options in torrc works :

#       10 TB/month == 4008 KB/sec, rate is measured in Bytes
#	4008: $> echo "10 * 1024^4 / 31 / 24 / 60 / 60 / 1024" | bc
#
BandwidthRate    4 MB
BandwidthBurst  10 MB

Currently about 50% of my advertised bandwidth rate is really used. That
matches to https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html
