Any pointers about why my relay is flipping between guard and not guard?
There are 8 authorities, and 4 think your relay should be a guard. Whenever a 5th joins them, your relay is a guard, when it doesn’t, your relay isn’t.
See the entry in https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html
There are a number of factors involved in guard selection: * Your bandwidth seems to fluctuate, which could cause the guard flag to fluctuate as well. Unfortunately, the guard flag then causes your bandwidth to fluctuate. So it’s hard to tell what the cause is here, and whether the relay’s Guard flag is in some kind of bandwidth-driven loop. Have you looked at the bwauth votes for your relay? * Your uptime is ok (for the last month). * There could be other factors.
Give it a week or so to stabilise, or, alternately, limit the bandwidth to stop it fluctuating so much.
