Hi, I've noticed that my relay's bandwidth has been continuously dropping during the last couple of weeks. My bandwidth has been stable during that time, and I haven't changed anything in terms of configuration. I've also noticed that bastet, longclaw and maatuska are showing lower weights for my relay. Have been any changes recently in the network that could cause this?

Thanks in advance, Mike

Hrm. I am not sure. bastet, longclaw, and maatuska are running sbws, our new and simple bandwidth scanner (bastet switched over to it on 05/28). So, there could be a still existing underlying sbws bug that is causing the decline.
I've opened a ticket[1] to investigate the issue.
Thanks, Georg

Alright, that's useful, thanks! I've added those links to our ticket[1] in case we need further data in order to track the problem down and fix it.
As a general note: I asked the operator of bastet to switch back to Torflow as soon as possible, so that Torflow-backed bandwidth authorities have a majority again in our network. That should mitigate the immediate problem and get all your relays back to appropriate consensus weights (unless there are sbws-unrelated bugs preventing that). Additionally, it gives us time to track down this bug and properly fix it.
Sorry for the inconvenience, Georg

I also note that once my relay's weighting returned to its previously normal range, the HSDir flag returned intermittently for a day or two for the first time since late last year and has been present continuously (AFAIK) ever since. That allows my relay to provide a bit more utility to the network once again.

And now I see that I wrote too soon. A new consensus arrived, and in it my relay is once again missing the HSDir flag. So we're back to the SOS again. Sigh.

I think part of the problem here was that this issue got brought up in the current HSDir flag requirements thread and was harder to spot that way. At least I overlooked it and I am sorry for that. Oh, and your relay and contributions are indeed much appreciated (even though you might got a different impression).
I am glad the bug you mention back then is on file now and we can start tracking it down and fixing it (work on that began today).
