Ticket #32106 – Description
initial v1 1 We say K as if everybody knows its 2 **10. But it has confused peripheral apps, like apparently nyx looks at "15 GBytes" in a torrc file, and helpfully visualized 15 billion bytes for the user, when actually Tor means 15 << 30 (a bit over 16 billion bytes) the whole time.1 We say K as if everybody knows its 2^10^.

And for folks who are trying to do bandwidth accounting properly, it could be a nasty surprise.
