I set up a bridge at home on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Buster) using [these instructions](https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/), and I believe everything is configured correctly... But there is no activity in or out of my bridge. Here's some messages I am seeing:
16:31:26 [NOTICE] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 0 unique clients. [2 duplicates hidden] 16:31:26 [NOTICE] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 17:59 hours, with 0 circuits open. I've sent 6.18 MB and received 25.58 MB. [2 duplicates hidden] 16:04:28 [NOTICE] Performing bandwidth self-test...done. 13:10:43 [NOTICE] No circuits are opened. Relaxed timeout for circuit 408 (a Testing circuit 3-hop circuit in state doing handshakes with channel state open) to 60000ms. However, it appears the circuit has timed out
I know bridges don't see as much activity but is this abnormal?

Thanks for running a bridge. We always need to run more.

You should start with some basic troubleshooting on this.... can you try to use the bridge yourself from an external TB?
Don't have time to give more details...

I've learned there is no normal for bridges. I have bridges with no activity whatsoever, and others that tell me things like this:
