[tor-relays] Relay Bandwidth Limit

[tostigraeda at protonmail.com]

As far as I know tor won’t spread the 5TB across the month. It’ll just run until it hits that limit and then hibernate for the rest of the define period. So if it hits 5T at 15 days it’ll hibernate for the next 15.

You can try to spread this out yourself by using daily limits and divide your allocation that way. It may still hibernate but may be available for more time during the month than the monthly max.

Hopefully I’m understanding correctly - your original message was truncated across two messages.

Cheers
