I have been running a non-exit tor relay for a few months now. It's on a
metered VPS, so after some experimenting I found that I can afford about
this much bandwidth:
RelayBandwidthRate 250 KB
RelayBandwidthBurst 500 KB
This worked fine until recently. However, just today I noticed the machin

You can check if your host has throttled/limited your total CPU usage.

I'm pretty new to tor, but in my experience it does fluctuate quite a
lot. With my settings of:
RelayBandwidthRate 1536 KB
RelayBandwidthBurst 2048 KB
it tends to switch between two "modes

No, its not 'per second'. It is the amount of allowed traffic that can
be saved up while not hitting the BandwidthRate to be used up when the
BandwidthRate is exceeded. Using up that saving

Oh, wow, looks like I completely misunderstood what RelayBandwidthBurst
does. I assumed it's a burst rate that would be occasionally allowed in
peak times, not a "credit limit". If you're sure your description is
correct,
