Why does a network status fetch cause a signal hup and my system to reset?

It probably isn't the networkstatus fetch that did it. It's much more likely that something else on your system sent the HUP signal -- I would guess it's something that is part of your Tor package.
For example, if your Tor package enables logrotation, it probably hups Tor after that so Tor will close the old log file and reopen a new one.
So, it depends which Tor package you have. Take a look at what cron jobs it added and what they do.

I am running a tor relay on Ubuntu 20.4 on a digital Ocean Droplet.
NTX is used to monitor
00:00:05 [NOTICE] Read configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc". x 00:00:05 [NOTICE] Read configuration file "/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc". x 00:00:05 [NOTICE] Received reload signal (hup). Reloading config and resetting internal state.
What happens after the signal hup is my band settings are changed from 2/4 MBs to 112/120MBs. This usually happens at 1/2 am so the relay operates at those settings for a solid eight hours. I am paying for this, when the above happens, it gets expensive! Which is why this has to stop.

Modern cron jobs don't just live in the crontab. See also your /etc/cron* directories, which is where various packages might put cron things.
For example, in my case I have an /etc/cron.daily/logrotate file (placed by my logrotate package) and also I have an /etc/logrotate.d/tor file (placed by my tor package).

Switching to other config values after a HUP makes me think you are configuring your Tor in some way other than editing /etc/tor/torrc.
Maybe you're doing your config changes via nyx, or some other transient way, rather than by editing the torrc file?
Since this is about running a relay, you also might get better help if you switch to the tor-relays@ list: https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Hope this helps, --Roger
