-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 You only mentioned the 100TB plan limit, this is why I suggested AccountingMax. I couldn't have guessed you are talking about some other policy limits.
The consensus weight is your bandwidth measured by the bandwidth authorities. This is used by clients to calculate your relay's probability from being chosen in a circuit. If it's big, yes of course it will attract more clients. If you rate-limit it in torrc, the bandwidth authorities won't be able to measure more than what you are offering. Maybe use this: MaxAdvertisedBandwidth N bytes|KBytes|MBytes|GBytes|KBits|MBits|GBits If set, we will not advertise more than this amount of bandwidth for our BandwidthRate. Server operators who want to reduce the number of clients who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their server without impacting network performance.
