<br>
One of my relays also had the consensus weight of 620 and today I<br>
checked atlas it decreased to just 20, and nothing unusual in the<br>
logs. Its uptime is the same like yours, few days (9 to be exact).<br>
<br>
I guess this is normal and it will grow to normal. The lifecycle of a<br>
new relay blog posts explains it, in a way.<br>
<br>
Just give some more time to run and it should be OK. I saw your<br>
advertised bandwidth is 512KB/s - that is reasonable, but the higher<br>
you can give to your relay, the better and the bigger consensus weight<br>
it will have.<br>
