[tor-relays] bridge offline

Hello: I had a power outage recently and I've restarted my bridge i.e. restarted the daemon and tor, and when I check the Relay Search section of Tor Metrics, it's taking a long time for my bridge to show as online again. Also, not sure if this matters, but I am running Linux Mint, and recently upgraded to the latest version, 19.3. Any ideas? Thank you.
