Hello!
I operate 94DEAD24492D6D01E3DE614E8BE6B4035329A4D7 and I've seen various changes in the measured bandwidth in atlas.
At the beginning, more than 10 MB/s were measured, now below 3. The machine itself didn't change, I can reach high up- and download rates if I transfer stuff via HTTP/FTP etc.
Where did you look when you say "10 MB/s were measured, now below 3"?
TOR Metrics --> Advertised Bandwidth
Right. But that's not what bandwidth authorities measure. If you hover over that value you'll likely see that the MiB/s shown comes from the observed bandwidth, which is something your relay is self-reporting. The question boils then down to why the relay is not carrying so much traffic anymore as it has been at the beginning. That's not an easy one to answer: maybe the bandwidth authorities have trouble measuring your relay properly or maybe they are able to measure other relays better than yours now shifting more traffic to them etc. There are many potential causes. If you want to investigate the bandwidth measurement part of the puzzle then you could have a look at the votes/bandwidth files and check in them how your relay is doing over time.
