... but I would guess there are many relays that start accounting at the 1st of every month and thus stop relaying traffic during the month. So, I would suggest to move the account period, which you can do using the AccountingStart directive. The following setting sets it to use 500 GB per direction per accounting period, uses a monthly accounting period, and starts from the 15th of every month (to the 15th of the next month).
AccountingMax 500 GB # per direction AccountingStart month 15 0:00
According to the manual for stable [0], Tor will wait until a random point in each period before waking up, so perhaps gaming the month start date isnt needed anymore.
