Check out the Tor FAQ; as long as your relay is up for at least an hour at a time, it's helpful, as the Tor Browser automatically changes circuits every 10 minutes anyway.So what if Tor changes circuits every ten minutes? Once your relay goes down, chances are, tens if not hundreds of circuits are unexpectedly broken.
And the Tor FAQ says it's OK if a relay goes offline sometimes, but that it's important it doesn't happen too often, since a relay that goes down too often is hurting the network, rather than helping it.
I have used the Tor Browser for that past 10 years, off and on, here and there. It is reliable, yet slow. If your relay is up for at least 60 minutes at a time, you're an asset and not a liability.
