[tor-relays] Is This Leap in Bridge Clients Normal

Hi,

For about 6 weeks now, I've been running a couple of obfs4 bridges, one 
on port 80, the other port 443.  Up to yesterday, the port 80 one had 
seen zero traffic, when this started to be reported:

Feb 09 13:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
0 unique clients.
Feb 09 19:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
533 unique clients.
Feb 10 01:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
63 unique clients.
Feb 10 07:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
212 unique clients.
Feb 10 13:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
93 unique clients.
Feb 10 19:46:19.000 [notice] Heartbeat: In the last 6 hours, I have seen 
61 unique clients.

Is this kind of sudden usage normal.

For the port 443 bridge, I have seen very little traffic at all, which 
surprises me as I thought that obfs4 bridges on port 443 were highly 
sought after.

A relay search for "OhNoAnother" will pull up the details.

Cheers.
