Hi Tor relay community,
I have recently made a new tor relay, and all is going well however I use NYX to mointor it and over the last day it has been giving the warning message seen below in the nyx mointor, the relay had been running fine for it's first 4 days of life but now shows this message for nealry 30 hours now (scrolling through logs)
Also the nyx mointor shows a CPU usage of 80-90% so I know this is the limiting factor and have no issue with it as this server is just free VPS that I am donating so ideally would like it to pump out as much data in/out as possible, but my question is,
Do I need to change my torrc to fix this error or will the tor network realize overtime how much traffic is best for this node?
Useful information: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/448E2528A4AC58A7531EC950AAF0F...: GANDI24325second the relay in quesiton, with this website showing everything as fine
Family: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/family:BC77562EF192F0A580F54D1...: the other two relays are working fine

Addtional info: If I haven't provided enough infomation/if you want the torrc I can help Thanks in advance for any help
