That is quite a low limit for a monthly cap. If it is a high speed
server it will consume the traffic within 5 days, after some time and
it's known in the consensus and gains some flags.

I think you are better of putting accounting per day, a daily limit of
16GB should do it. Or, see if you negotiate with your provider
unlimited traffic :) long shot worth to try
