Depending on your location in the world and the speed of your network
connection, 20-35% utilisation is pretty normal.

(Tor load balances for throughput and latency.)

If you want your relay to use more bandwidth, stop limiting the bandwidth.

Remove BandwidthRate, BandwidthBurst, and MaxAdvertisedBandwidth
from your config, then wait a week or two and see what happens.

Increase the RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst, then wait a
week or two and see what happens.

If that doesn't work, try reading the detailed instructions here:
