Every N seconds, Tor downloads a fresh directory, and re-uploads
information about hidden services to the directory servers. If

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,
using this option 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".
