This mailing thread may be of use:

Other ways that you can check the bandwidth usage of your relay is Atlas
(https://atlas.torproject.org/) where you can search your relay's
fingerprint note that the data presented there are not real time but may
help to "visualize" easier some tor relay terminologies.

Since your relays is new it's bandwidth is not going to be fully
utilized read this blog post to find out about the lifecycle of a new
relay in Tor: https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay

Hope this helps.

Thank you for running relays!


Cheers,
~Vasilis
