Yes, sorry, 1TB a month :)

I have been running my own personal relay on one of their 512MB 
instances for a bit over three months without issue (famous last words). 
CPU usage usually hovers around 10-15%. On that relay I set 
AccountingMax to 100 GB of traffic per day just to make sure it didn't 
blow out in a single day and then sit idle the rest of the month. I 
restarted it awhile back and looking at the logs it shows:

"Tor's uptime is 17 days 0:00 hours, with 637 circuits open. I've sent 
370.11 GB and received 369.43 GB."

Your suggestion for one big server with multiple clients on an 
un-metered account might be cool...
