Does anyone know how long it takes for the
guard flag to come back after a multi-day
relay downtime?

Know that WTU (weighted time up) is 98%,
and new-relay TK (time known) minimum is
eight days.

Reading rephist.c the the WTU is
calculated from uptime history but rather
then spend awhile to fully understand
it seemed worth asking.

Presently watching a relay that has
been around six weeks, has been down
four days recently and five total,
has 14-day 100% uptime, Globe-
calculated 1-month uptime of 85%
and 3-month uptime of 90%.  Had
guard a couple of times but has not
seen it return after the last outage.
