[tor-relays] [Tor Weather] Node Down! - AccountingMax and ORPort 80
I thought it might be nice to run a relay only node with ORPort 80 because it might make tor more available to some users where blocking occurs. And to limit unexpected expenses I calculated 220GB a week would be good. Now I have found out why running ORPort 80 with AccountingMax is a problem...
Can I work around this issue of after hibernation the node won't bind to port 80? Or do I need to set it to something above port 1024, for example the default port 9001?
Initial setup includes the following:
ORPort 80
AccountingMax 220 GB
AccountingStart week 7 00:00
After a few weeks running the node, day 7 of the week's AccountingMax Tor Weather reports Node Down!

I restart the server, after a bit of downtime. [1].
Following week on day 5 of the AccountingStart week I am approaching the limit again and decide to try a daily AccountingMax, and then perhaps I could restart the server with cron at 5:01, but that isn't going work well with random hibernation.
ORPort 198.211.99.146:80 IPv4Only
AccountingMax 32 GB
AccountingStart day 05:00
Then Node Down again, this time it happens right after the AccountingStart resets.

Nov 21 07:46:25.000 [warn] Restart failed (config error?). Exiting.
I would like to run an exit node, but the advise seems to be try a relay only node for 6 months to a year first... It seems it might be more of an issue with expenses that might prevent me from running an exit node, or multiple nodes.
I'l upgrade the VPS to the 2TB transfer, but that might be after the holidays. However I suspect that it will only be a matter of days or weeks before I run into the AccountingMax limits and that may preclude changing the configuration to be an exit node.
1. Downtime starting the 15th.
