How to limit Tor bridge (OBFS4) traffic/bandwidth?

I am unable to find at Tor Project | Debian / Ubuntu (bridge setup tutorial) any mention of a bandwidth or traffic.

Bandwidth limits - Relay performance - Relays FAQ — Tor does not mention “bridge”.

Default /etc/tor/torrc contains bandwidth related lines, but talks about relay not a bridge. (and it should in case it is applicable to a bridge?)

Relay Search shows “Advertised Bandwidth“ which is higher than i can afford (couple of megabytes per second).

Have you tried this in your config ?

RelayBandwidthRate 1 MBytes
RelayBandwidthBurst 2 MBytes # allow higher bursts but maintain average

I think it works for bridges too… not 100% sure tho
