Ouch, that's wrong.
"BandwidthBurst" and "BandwidthRate" refer to bandwidth consumed by
Tor as a client, e.g your localhost SOCKS5. If you are trying to limit
RELAYED traffic, as in sent and received by your relay functionality
you should use:

"RelayBandwidthRate" and "RelayBandwidthBurst" but these are an
inferior solution to make your Tor relay not consume more than n TB
per month. See my previous email, use "AccountingMax", checkout the
manual linked in my previous email it's highly customizable. Either
give it 23 TByetes per week, either 96 TBytes per month... as you like.
