You should not have to. Which version are you using? Can you use gnunet-stats 
to see how much traffic is actually generated? So far, I've seen GNUnet 
pretty much stick to the limitations that were set in the configuration (note 
that you need to restart gnunetd after changing the bandwidth limitations!). 

Look at how much traffic was received/transmitted by the various transports 
and divide that by the uptime of your node. If that's (significantly) more 
than MAXNETXXXBPSTOTAL, it should be investigated.
