Consensus & usage are independent

consensus: based on available bandwidth

load: based on usage by tor clients.

if total available bw increases but load doesn't, observed load on a node will drop.

I also would like to add to this - if it were just the Tor network increasing in size I could see my consensus weight dropping and my bandwidth staying the same.  I'm simply not getting the 7-8gbit/sec traffic I was.  Truly odd.

Which correlates to https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html - your fraction just decreases if more and more relays join the party.
