According to
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/A290A9E71ADFC2FB1C80E64EF851A4B905450105
, the relay has only been around for some short time and is still
building up speed; it is currently at 4.5 MByte/s advertised bandwidth.

It can take up to roughly a month before a new relay reaches its 'final'
throughput levels. See
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay for details.

4.5 MByte/s per direction means that it will reach 2TB within less than
three days. You don't want that; you should actually throttle your relay
to be around for some more days. I would suggest something like 800 KB/s
and a cap on total amount of data per month, which means it will be
pushing data for ~15 days per month.
