See AccountingMax and related options in tor manpage:
AccountingMax N bytes|KBytes|MBytes|GBytes|KBits|MBits|GBits|TBytes
Never send more than the specified number of bytes in a
given accounting period, or receive more than that number
in the period. For example, with AccountingMax set to 1
GByte, a server could send 900 MBytes and receive 800
MBytes and continue running. It will only hibernate once
one of the two reaches 1 GByte. When the number of bytes
gets low, Tor will stop accepting new connections and
circuits. When the number of bytes is exhausted, Tor will
hibernate until some time in the next accounting period.
To prevent all servers from waking at the same time, Tor
will also wait until a random point in each period before
waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling
hibernation is preferable to setting a low bandwidth,
since it provides users with a collection of fast servers
that are up some of the time, which is more useful than a
set of slow servers that are always "available".
