I know what it means, the relay has been online for the last few days without significant interruption, which is why I lost it as I had the stable flag, I had had it before my computer froze for about two hours and I did not realize that had happened until it’s too late. I’m just hoping that it does not take too terribly long for my relay to regain the stable flag, what’ strange though it my relay seems to receive quite a lot of traffic when I do not have the stable flag as well, according to the relay software receiving hundreds of megabytes at a time, I thought only stable relays received bigger amounts of traffic. "Stable" if the router is suitable for long-lived circuits. https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n2248 Clients use stable relays for preemptive circuits, and circuits to long-lived ports.
