I believe that blog post, which I have also seen, is irrelevant (at least in my case).

1) Its graphs never show consensus weight dropping, only the throughput

2) My guard percentage has not gone up from 0 (presumably because I'm an exit node, not a standard relay)

Also, what units are you measuring weight in? Is that %e-4, or %e-5 or similar?

Hi everyone,

I've been running an exit node for a few days now, and around 8 hours ago my consensus weight and exit probability dropped to essentially zero, after dropping substantially several hours previously.

Why is that? Nothing in my logs suggests anything unusual -- but then again, I'm very new to this and thus wouldn't know where else to look or what to think about this.

Thanks for your time.

One of my relays also had the consensus weight of 620 and today I checked atlas it decreased to just 20, and nothing unusual in the logs. Its uptime is the same like yours, few days (9 to be exact).

I guess this is normal and it will grow to normal. The lifecycle of a new relay blog posts explains it, in a way.

Just give some more time to run and it should be OK. I saw your advertised bandwidth is 512KB/s - that is reasonable, but the higher you can give to your relay, the better and the bigger consensus weight it will have.
