[tor-relays] New Tor node operator hibernation question

[pandemicrelay at hushmail.com]

Hello,
I am a new Tor relay operator, and have setup my first relay. It's
been running as a Tor middle relay for about 10 days now, and it's
been running solid. It has the stable, guard, fast, running, and valid
flags. I have my AccountingMax quota set to start at the first of each
month at midnight. However, just past midnight on 07-01 Tor said it
was going to hibernate until 07-05. This had me confused as I was only
about half way through my monthly quota setup in AccountingMax for
June, and my hosting provider reset the data on the first at midnight.
I read the manual page about AccountingMax again, and it appears this
may have been normal behavior. However before I read the manual page,
I forced my relay to wake up out of that hibernation. It appears to be
operating normally right now. However, I am wondering if this will
cause any issues this month, or in future months? Also, can someone
explain if the hibernation of 5 days was normal behavior to begin
with.
Thank you
