Addendum: Did a bit of research (or rather checked some random
relays on Atlas).
It seems like it's not only my relay that experienced a
significant drop at the same time. I can't find anything obvious
these relays have in common. new/old, large/small,
guard/exit/middle, different countries and ASes.
So it might be BWAuth related after all.
That's exactly what baffles me. I didn't make any changes to
the relay configuration since updating to 0.2.8.7. I've always
had some fluctuations in the Advertised Bandwidth as reported by
Atlas, but I assume these are from the BWAuth measurements?
The only thing on my end, that I could imagine, is that the VPS
provider changed something in his configuration. But since I
don't see any interruption of the servers uptime (neither in
Tor, nor in Debian, nor in the VPS control panel), I assume this
couldn't be anything drastic like moving the VM to a different
host machine.

I last restarted the relay five days ago (update to 0.2.8.7). Can a restart really cause the consensus weight to drop several days later? If it drops within a few hours, I'd get that, but what would delay that response that much?
(Not complaining, just genuinely curious.)
I'm really not sure - any flag changes should have an impact within an hour.
Several days later is more likely to be bandwidth authority measurement - is your relay up and capable of transmitting as much traffic as it was before it was restarted?
Are its ports open to all other relays?
Can it open connections to other relays, regardless of their ports?
Did you make any other config changes at the same time?

Hi,
I just realised that my relay 'itwasntme' lost most of its consensus
weight yesterday morning. The relay is only three weeks old, but it was
finally picking up some traffic, which now is gone again.
What could be the cause for this? Is there a problem with my relay or
configuration?
It looks like you just recently gained some consensus weight, then temporarily lost it after you restarted your relay.
We're working on improving the stability algorithm so these temporary downtimes don't affect relays as much.
But in any case, wait a week or two, and it will be back.
(If not, please let us know.)
Tim
Thanks for your help!
