They already do so that you don't have all dropping at the same time.

Usually a few days before the end of every month my systems are getting slammed with traffic / directory requests. I thought about that and came up with the theory that a lot of systems with traffic limitations are dropping out a few days before the end of the month. This means more pressure on the remaining systems in the network.
I was wondering why the exit probability of my relay was tripled during
the
past few days and now is at the usual level. Your thoughts explains it well.
I wonder how hard it would be to have relays randomize the start point of their hibernation period, to stabilize the amount of available bandwidth over a 1-month interval...
