Hello,
About two days ago, I started running my first tor relay using a digital ocean vps instance. Yesterday, I found this nice article[1] about the life-cycle of a tor relay. It was a great read and I think I understanding of how tor works has improved quite a bit.
Currently, my relay[2] whose up-time is roughly 2 days 18 hours doesn't have any active circuits ( via tor-arm). Since its in the unmeasured phase( days 0-3) shouldn't it be making circuits back to itself? I believe the number that was mentioned in the article was four.
I apologize if my question seems silly.
Thanks!

Welcome and i hope you are going to stay for a long time.

This is part of "the first contact" so to say and triggers the passive measuring. It is not permanent.
