For example, with AccountingMax set to 1 GB, a server could send 900 MB and receive 800 MB and continue running. It will only hibernate once one of the two reaches 1 - GB. When the number of bytes is exhausted, Tor will hibernate until some + GB. When the number of bytes gets low, Tor will stop accepting new + connections and circuits. When the number of bytes + is exhausted, Tor will hibernate until some time in the next accounting period. To prevent all servers from waking at the same time, Tor will also wait until a random point in each period before waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling hibernation
