While looking at the snowflake broker metrics for clues about the sudden drops in known proxy NAT types[0], I noticed that the broker metrics show a very large spike in client polls over the last day. I've attached a few graphs that show this, which probably won't have showed up in tor relay metrics yet.

Perhaps this is a good time to push to get more proxies? It seems we could use proxies for both restrictive and unrestrictive NATs at this point.
Just an update on this: we've seen a huge spike in snowflake proxies over the last day, and there are now over 20K unique proxies IPs/day. This increase included proxies for the restrictive NAT proxy pool as well as the unrestrictive pool (graphs attached). With this increase it looks like the number of proxies is not currently a bottleneck, though we'll see what happens if client polls increase again.
