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.
