Hello everyone,
I configured an accounting limit on my tor relay. 1-2 days after restarting the tor service the relay seems to go into permanent hibernation. Once I restart the service traffic is sent and received as expected, however after 1-2 days it seems to go into permanent hibernation again until I restart the service. The longest hibernation period was for about three month(!).
My configuration:
Tor 0.4.1.6, on FreeBSD 12.1. (nothing else running on the machine)
My relevant settings:
AccountingMax 128 GBytes AccountingStart day 00:00
RelayBandwidthRate 2560 KBytes RelayBandwidthBurst 5120 KBytes
Logs since the last restart: https://pastebin.com/wk04zDC8
Metrics: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/A3BB86337E003A2668E016466EA3A... (The peeks in the graphs match the times when I manually restarted the service)
Since I experience this 'permanent hibernation' since at least last August, I wonder if it's expected behavior, e.g., caused by the small limit of 128 GB per day, or if it's a bug (possibly related to this one: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2019-October/017862.html ?).
Best, Manuel
