I'm not sure what the MTBF criteria are now, but restarting more than once a week will probably disqualify a relay from being a Guard.
Thanks Alex, I do have the node configured to automatically apply security updates and reboot as needed so at first I though that might be biting me, but I did have three reboots to the same kernel version so maybe there were some transient issues:
$ last reboot reboot system boot 5.4.0-166-generi Tue Oct 31 19:43 still running reboot system boot 5.4.0-165-generi Sat Oct 28 02:00 - 19:43 (3+17:42) reboot system boot 5.4.0-165-generi Tue Oct 24 03:27 - 02:00 (3+22:33) reboot system boot 5.4.0-165-generi Sat Oct 21 02:00 - 02:00 (6+23:59) reboot system boot 5.4.0-164-generi Sat Oct 7 02:00 - 02:00 (13+23:59)
I did miss the missing stable flag and that definitely explains my state.
Thanks, -Jon
