Tor 0.4.5.10 on Linux
I’ve had an active Tor Bridge Relay for more than 2 years, and everything works fine apart from the hibernation wake up. When the Bridge hits the traffic limit it hibernates correctly and then wakes up correctly at the end of the traffic limit period. The problem is that the bridge doesn’t get any traffic until I restart it. Then everything starts working OK again.
Here an example from the logs:
Mar 16 12:17:03 Tor[556]: Bandwidth soft limit reached; commencing hibernation. No new connections will be accepted

Any idea on why and how I can solve that issue?
I would like to stop checking the bridge every few days to see if I need to restart it again [I’ve been doing it for too long already].
