No. I have no other processes running on the vps. The OS Debian Linux is running the newest version, it seems something is causing the tor process to get hung up once a month. Will take a look at that, thanks.

On debian 9, 10 and 11, the tor deamon is started and managed by systemd by default. With the option 'Restart=on-failure' Is the tor service really down? ~$ sudo systemctl status tor

If the tor service is terminated by something, you can find out why this is happening in the logs. Reading the log files carefully is always the first thing to do in the event of errors on UNIX systems. ~$ cat /var/log/tor/notices.log
