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.
