Alright, that's useful, thanks! I've added those links to our ticket[1]
in case we need further data in order to track the problem down and fix it.

As a general note: I asked the operator of bastet to switch back to
Torflow as soon as possible, so that Torflow-backed bandwidth
authorities have a majority again in our network. That should mitigate
the immediate problem and get all your relays back to appropriate
consensus weights (unless there are sbws-unrelated bugs preventing
that). Additionally, it gives us time to track down this bug and
properly fix it.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Georg
