Which bandwidth authorities are limiting the consensus weight of these relays? Where are they located?
The one in question is in Sweden: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/D5F2C65F4131A1468D5B67A8838A9...
In your first email, you said:
He used to push an average of 500mbit on his exit relay, but then the HSDir DoS flatlined his relay for a while (!), and now, perhaps due to the bwauth variability, his exit relay only recovered to maybe 200mbit. He is running a second exit relay on that IP address, but also perhaps due to the bwauth variability, it hasn't attracted much attention either.
The relay's recent history is a bit more complicated. This fingerprint has only been around since October 2018. It pushed 500 mbit from November 2018 to January 2019, then failed from January to March 2019. Its other bandwidths are about the same as they are now, at around 250 mbit.
And there are two exits on this machine. Here's the other one:

It's RelayBandwidthRate-limited to 15 MBytes/s, so the operator's first step should be to remove this limit, and wait a week for the bandwidths to stabilise.
The first exit is also rate-limited to 85 MBytes/s. It might be a good idea to remove both limits at the same time.
Tor is only using about 50% of advertised exit bandwidth right now. These particular exits are using 35% and 60% of their bandwidth limits.
So I don't see anything unusual happening here.
Can you hold off on your proposed changes until we see what happens after the bandwidth limits are removed?
I'll send a separate detailed email with the sbws diagnostics.
