As far as I know tor won’t spread the 5TB across the month. It’ll just run until it hits that limit and then hibernate for the rest of the define period. So if it hits 5T at 15 days it’ll hibernate for the next 15.
You can try to spread this out yourself by using daily limits and divide your allocation that way. It may still hibernate but may be available for more time during the month than the monthly max.
Hopefully I’m understanding correctly - your original message was truncated across two messages.

My experience with the Snowflake container is that it will blow through the bandwidth limit for the month, and your VPS will cut you off until the next billing cycle.

“day 1 00:00”. It looks as though my relay is going to blow past that limit based on the average data transferred per day and how many days are left in the month. Will it simply stop transferring data when the monthly limit is hit?
Thanks

Hi all,
I’ve been running my first relay for a few weeks now. The VPS provider I chose provides 5TB of bandwidth per month so I have set AccountingMax to “5 TB” and AccountingStart to
