In /etc/tor/torrc, I have:

But metrics.torproject.org says:
Details for: ahiker Configuration
Nickname ahiker OR Addresses IPv4 Advertised Bandwidth 55.99 KiB/s
Why?
If you hover over Advertised Bandwidth, you'll find a tooltip that reads:
The volume of traffic, both incoming and outgoing, that this bridge is
willing to sustain, as configured by the operator and **claimed to be observed from recent data transfers.**
So your bridge hasn't seen more than about 56 KiB/s recently.
Side note: I doubt you'll ever see your RelayBandwidthRate hit. 64 MBps is 512 Mbps and only the absolute fastest relays get anywhere near that[0]. Plus, you're a bridge, and bridges don't see as much use as relays.
Thank you for contributing to Tor.
