Looks good!

You could even bump up the available bandwidth, since relays with those
tiny bandwidth numbers tend to attract less traffic -- it looks from the
graphs above that your relay is doing maybe 30 or 40 KBytes/s as a long
term average, which is a lot less than 500 KBytes/s.

Old relays will naturally fall out of the 'relay search' web results.
They will stay in the archived data sets at collector.torproject.org,
as historical records about the Tor network.
Thanks!

Thanks! Your upgraded relay looks good.
I've started the process of unblacklisting the fingerprint. It will
need a threshold of the directory authorities to pull the update, so it
could be a couple of days until it takes effect, but hopefully it will
be relatively soon.
You can go to the bottom of
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#relayinfo
and paste in your fingerprint or nickname to see progress.

Looks reasonable. Be aware that some VPS providers count a byte in and a
byte out as two bytes. So if that's your provider, you're on track to be
double-spending for the month. See also "AccountingRule" in the man page.

It depends what bandwidthrate you're offering, but I think the answer in
general is "somewhere in between": pick a bandwidthrate where you'll be
around at least half of the month, and then maybe you'll be around for
the whole month too:

Hi Amazing people
I was, during like 2 weeks, successfully running a tor relay, but then it stopped working (nick: morerelays). I was just wondering if my version is EOL and not accepted anymore?
I followed the install instructions on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide
for fedora, and that was the version I got, and I tried reinstalling but that is the version I get. Will I not be able to run a relay anymore? I certainly want to.
Thank you kindly
Your work matters
