fare, I can cry to my ISP saying that the agreement is not fare. But I
will lose. And of course there is no other option for me, than
disconnect tor.

"1. Inform your potential ISP(s)
In general, running an exit node from your home Internet connection is
not recommended, unless you are prepared for increased attention to your
home. In the USA, there have been no equipment seizures due to Tor
exits, but there have been phone calls and visits. In other countries,
people have had all their home computing equipment seized for running an
exit from their home internet connection. So you will need to find a
good colo and save your home connection for bridge or middle node use.
Plus, bandwidth will be much cheaper in a colo center anyway."

It's not recommended to run an exit node from your home, if that's what
you've done.  You could still run a relay node (no exit), without
encountering such issues.  I (and I'm sure many others) hope you will
choose to run a relay node rather than giving up on the project completely.
