As we do not set any advertised bandwidth in our configuration, the
value in Atlas is the bandwidth observed by the network. We are still in
a ramp-up phase and going to continue being so for until approximately
the end of 2014. Read
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay for more. We
do not plan to set an bandwidth limit at this point, either in the Tor
configuration or externally, in our network.

What logs are you referring to? If you're referring to "Log notice
/var/log/tor/tor.log" then this just logs statistics, nothing else.
torrc's manpage says on the matter: "[w]e advise using "notice" in most
cases, since anything more verbose may provide sensitive information to
an attacker who obtains the logs". We do not keep traffic/usage logs in
any way nor are we planning to.
