Hi all, I've been running a middle relay on a VPS for about 2 months now. The provider limits the monthly data transferred to 5TB but does not charge for over-usage. Instead, the bandwidth is throttled to 1Mb/s after the limit is reached until the 1st of the next month.
I currently have AccountingMax set to 2.5 TB (since it's the max in each direction) and AccountingStart set to "month 1 00:00". Generally that 5TB limit is hit between the 15th and 17th of the month, causing the relay to go dormant until the 1st. What I'm wondering is: 1 - Is it better for the network if the relay is active 24/7, even if sometimes it's much slower? 2 - Will it negatively affect my relay's reputation if sometimes it's very slow?
