There are settings you can add to your torrc to limit both the speed of your
bandwidth and total amount of data sent per period, have a look at this two

http://rzuwtpc4wb3xdzrj3yeajsvm3fkq4vbeubm2tdxaqruzzzgs5dwemlad.onion/relay-operators/limit-total-bandwidth/
For example if i want my relay to use 3MB/s average with a burst of 6, and no
more than 1 TB in a month one could put this in their torrc,
RelayBandwidthRate 3 MB # Throttle traffic to 3MB/s (24Bbps)RelayBandwidthBurst
6 MB # But allow bursts up to 6MB/s (48Mbps)
AccountingMax 1TBAccountingStart month 1 12:00
Hopefully this helps
