Comment:

 Non-running relays will only be displayed by Atlas until they are offline
 one week.  Then things will magically be less confusing again, and only
 the running relays will be listed.

 So, you're calculating downtime as time since last restarted?  That's not
 correct.  A relay or bridge may have been last restarted months ago and
 then been running for weeks; downtime is the time since it was last seen
 as running.

 Unfortunately, that information is not yet available, but just the time
 when a relay or bridge was last seen, regardless of the Running flag.  See
 #11430 for more details.

 I think this is a duplicate of #9814.  I suggest closing this ticket and
 writing a patch for that other ticket -- either one that doesn't display
 anything for non-running relays, or one that uses whatever comes out of
 #11430.

 Thanks for working on making Atlas better!
