(I've read differing opinions on these questionswritten at different times, but haven't found a clear consensus.)I don't think there is clear consensus. I would say make it available for a consecutive timespan, and set the speed limit to something not lower than 1 MB/s. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1854
Would the sensible solution be to set RelayBandwidthBurst to a high value while leaving RelayBandwidthRate low enough to prevent hibernation? I'm not sure how this would work out, but it might result in a relay which is able to support fast connections when required and still be up most/all the time.
