I am allocating 100gb of bandwidth up and down every day. When my
middle relay goes into hibernation, should I expect my stats to go
to hell? Should I also expect my flags my stable and guard flags to
be removed?

Yes, but they'll come back eventually.

If I reach my bandwidth restrictions 10 hours before it is reset,
is this the reason why the relay would lose guard and stable flags?
I may need to restrict my bandwidth to 60gb up and down as I only
have 3tb of bandwidth to donate on a monthly basis.

This is another question we see frequently.

Until we get a FAQ or wiki entry for it, I'd encourage you to search the list archives for previous answers.

There are good reasons to run a relay that's always on.

Then again, there are also good reasons to run a fast relay.

If you're very close to your bandwidth cutoff, why not decrease it slightly, and run all the time?
