I'm running a relay node on my box, and I recently updated the torrc file (I set a RelayBandwidthRate and commented out AccountingMax)
I then run:
$ service tor reload
and this is the output:
* Reloading tor daemon configuration... [fail]
[Update from associated chat session.]
The relay had hit its accounting limits and entered hibernate mode.
To bring the service back up it was necessary to restart it instead of reload it.
$ service tor restart
