How do the bandwidth authorities treat a hibernated relay? Does hibernation effectively lower the consensus weight (CW)? If so, and even if the lower CW is temporary, would it then take longer for the CW to climb back up once the relay is out of hibernation?

IMHO it seems simpler to just throttle it evenly over the month (RelayBandwidthRate). Then you have a nice, even CW throughout the month, and the relay is consistently utilized to its potential.

Hibernation using AccountingMax won't result in "spotty" client service.
The relay will not accept any new connections, and thus slowly "fade
out" for the period.

There is no one valid answer to this question. I would say limiting it
so it stays around for 15-20 days per month is a good compromise.
