Comment:

 Please check your time, and the time on your NTP server.

 Given that 9 authorities must agree on the time before they can sign a
 consensus, is unlikely that a relay can receive a signed consensus signed
 by 9 authorities who think the time is 16:00:00 (or later), when global
 time is 15:58:58.

 It is far more likely that your relay's clock has drifted, or your NTP
 server's clock has drifted.
