Hello.
I made a "hello world" hidden service and I had to following message in the logs about exceeding launch limit. I have not seen this before. I had one onion for a while and added a second one recently - not sure if that matters as it is only complaining about the first one.
I am not sure what / why it is exceeding launch limit, I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me.
Thanks.

Whether tor or you *''d it, 45 bits is insufficient to prevent association in posts, and being v2, can be discovered in full, further, onions can be deanon'd to IP address in time by motivated adversaries.

Hmm,
this could be explained by a few different reasons and this could be a hint that we should make this log a bit more silent instead of having it bark loudly for no reason. The onion service should recover anyhow (please let us know if it doesn't).
The most likely reason you are launching more intro circuits than needed, is that your guard (or some other node) is overworked and it's failing some of your circuits, so you are launching more of them in hopes to get them across. There might be other possible reasons too.
If you give us info logs we might be able to get more details about this. But it's probably not something you should worry about (and probably something we should not alert you about).
Thanks!

I have looked back at my logs, my relay reboots every few days and the messages are not always there during / after startup so thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.
As I said it is just a "Hello World" / demo site and everything still works and loads I think that I can live with the messages lol.
Thanks.
