I'm not convinced that this is the culprit for the mentioned relay [1].

I found another relay [2] where at least 4 of the 9 authorities doesn't set the "Running" flag, which is needed for "Guard", right?
That relay has a reasonable bw value to (23,000 , FWIW the value for [1] is about 90,000).

So now I do wonder why the Running flag is lost after a year.
