Based on found numbers, some thoughts: * shouldn't there be more authority servers? DNS system has 13 root servers spread over the globe... * not all authority servers are equal: ** reported data varies greatly between servers https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-19-00.ht... : maatuska=1400 <> gabelmoo=4060 ** some authorities vary greatly in reported data: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-19-00.ht...: gabelmoo=4060 https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-18-00.ht...: gabelmoo=2110 * authority participating in consensus change, and with only few active (4-5) at a time, impact of a single authority on network is amplified
By having more servers * consensus would be more stable (low-median) * leading to more accurate assessment of nodes * and wider utilisation of the available nodes * leading to higher network throughput
Does that sound plausible?

Thanks for the link to consensus-health, based data available:
05/11 17:00 longclaw=4540 gabelmoo=4170 moria1=4410 faravahar=2520 => cons: 4170
05/11 18:00 longclaw=4550 gabelmoo=*2170* moria1=4410 faravahar=2520 => cons: *2520*
So that explains the drop.

The previous drops, i know why they happened (related to server
unavailability) so I know the cause. For 5th however I have no clue.
As far as I can tell, the relay is accurately measured.
Sometimes, this means that you get a lower measurement than you might have had before.
Accurate bandwidth measurements are a good thing for tor users, even if the changes in the measurement are sometimes (temporarily) disappointing to relay operators.
If you want to improve the measurements, try adding more bandwidth. For your relay, this means increasing BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst.
