Sir,
That was it. Didn't even check it when I brought it online, I figured the EC2 image just had setup the defaults for a non-exit relay. I'll be more vigilant next time and avoid assumptions.

It's been operational for 6 days now, Tor has been reporting bandwidth usage, but when I try to look for it in the TorStatus page, it's not listed. I'm operating this relay on EC2 and I've opened all the usual ports.
It sounds very much like you're running a bridge relay, not a public relay: https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#RelayOrBridge
I've also checked the Tor metric portal, can't find it there either.
So, I'm wondering - is there something I missed in the configuration? The torrc is pretty much the default EC2 one.
Thank you I appreciate any thoughts/assistance.
It's probably the 'bridgerelay 1' in your torrc that is doing it.
That said, running a public relay on EC2 is quite expensive, since Amazon's prices for bandwidth are not competitive.
