Signed PGP part I am allocating 100gb of bandwidth up and down every day. When my middle relay goes into hibernation, should I expect my stats to go to hell? Should I also expect my flags my stable and guard flags to be removed?
Yes, but they'll come back eventually.
If I reach my bandwidth restrictions 10 hours before it is reset, is this the reason why the relay would lose guard and stable flags? I may need to restrict my bandwidth to 60gb up and down as I only have 3tb of bandwidth to donate on a monthly basis.
This is another question we see frequently. Until we get a FAQ or wiki entry for it, I'd encourage you to search the list archives for previous answers.
There are good reasons to run a relay that's always on. Then again, there are also good reasons to run a fast relay. If you're very close to your bandwidth cutoff, why not decrease it slightly, and run all the time?
