[tor-relays] Naive question about consensus weight

I've been running an exit node for a number of years without incident, so I
tend not to look at its state very much. I'm also not very technically
knowledgeable about Tor.

However, I notice from Atlas that from January 1st, the exit probability of
my server dropped dramatically and has stayed that way together with the
observed bandwidth being always a small fraction of the speed I advertise:

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/3612C429C29F698DEAB5072C75E2D700893D0CF1

So I'm curious as to whether there's anything I can do to bring my
consensus weight up, apart from just ensuring continuous uptime. That's not
often under my control though, since reboots for kernel updates etc. come
quite regularly.

Apologies if this a common question, but some initial searches on the
subject turned up rather too much information for me to understand!
