\fBAccountingMaxKB \fR\fInum\fP

Never send or receive more than \fInum\fP kilobytes in a given

accounting period (currently, only months are supported).  When the

number of kilobytes is exhausted, Tor will hibernate until some time

in the next accounting period.  If you have bandwidth cost issues,

using this option is preferable to setting a low bandwidth, since it

provides users with a collection of fast servers that are up some of

the time, which is more useful than a set of slow servers that are

always "available".

.TP

\fBMonthlyAccountingStart \fR\fIday\fP

Always start the accounting period on the provided day of the month,

which must be between 1 and 28.  (Defaults to 1.)
