Around 2 weeks ago, I posted the following concerns regarding "negative spikes" for the number of relays measured by metrics.torproject.org [1] in forum.torproject.org [2] (and earlier on r/TOR [3] ) :
Are there any good explanations on why these spikes occurred? Might those outages imply some centralized infrastructure? If so, how is that not a major concern? So far, I have not received any definite explanations.
If those spikes happen to be measurement errors, I imagine that there should be logs somewhere to support this explanation. 3. Does such evidence exist publicly? 4. If not (3), where would that evidence be stored? Sources: [1] http://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html?start=2022-01-01&end=2026-03-...

I appreciate any clues, hints, or pointers on where to ask further. Best, ttlns
