Recently I enable exits on my relay and traffic seemed to jump very high compared to the almost stagnant bandwidth increase wen it was just running as a guard middle relay. I was wondering if this was normal for the traffic to jump this much. Here's the Atlas link for my relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/ABF5C38A93F2D7E77A226871AB0ADB052279B4...
It's very normal for exit relays to pick up *much *more traffic than middle or guard. Because exit relays have to deal with the abuse complaints of Tor users, there are much fewer exit relays than middle and guard: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/relayflags.html
Even though there is plenty of bandwidth in the Tor network ( http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/bandwidth-flags.html), the sheer amount of exit vs non-exit relays causes exit relays to have much more traffic.
