Hi, i have been running a tor relay (link: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/858BEC79D7355EC0631E98D47CF14...) on a raspberry pi 2 for 15 days, however i think there might be a problem with it. My consensus weight is only 43 and thus the relay doesn't get used much. Please advise if there is an issue
It is normal for a relay to take some time to come up to its full speed. The only issue I can think of would be if you have something else hogging bandwidth. I couldn't figure out why my year-old relay's advertised bandwidth was dropping significantly until I realized someone else was running torrents on the same router and using most of the upload bandwidth. Someone more knowledgeable may be able to clarify further.

There are lots of reasons why relays are slow. Maybe your relay can't do Tor's cryptography fast enough on its CPU?
We've noticed similar issues with other Raspberry Pi 2 relays.
Try reading this problem-solving guide, and let us know how you go: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MyRelayIsSlow
