 Split off #27346:

 weight bandwidths based on the time since the last bandwidth, because:
 * if we only record bandwidths when they change, bandwidths that are
 updated soon after the last bandwidth are weighted too high

 we can either:
 * record the bandwidths every hour, even if they haven't changed
 * weight each bandwidth by the time since the last bandwidth
