By default, Onionoo includes bridges that are not currently running but
that have been running in the past week. The idea is that relay/bridge
operators should be able to find their relay/bridge even when it's
offline for a short moment.

For example, the following request turns the number of running bridges
known to Onionoo:

$ curl
"https://onionoo.torproject.org/summary?type=bridge&running=true&limit=0"
{"version":"4.1",
"relays_published":"2017-09-10 07:00:00",
"relays":[
],
"bridges_published":"2017-09-10 05:43:34",
"bridges":[
],
"bridges_truncated":3657}

-> 3657

Let us know here or in a new Trac ticket if the results still don't make
sense.

All the best,
Karsten
