Comment:

 Note that advertised bandwidth is the "bandwidth in bytes per second that
 this relay is willing and capable to provide. This bandwidth value is the
 minimum of bandwidth_rate, bandwidth_burst, and observed_bandwidth." (from
 https://onionoo.torproject.org/protocol.html)

 Also take a look at the raw data that Globe displays:

 https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?search=F1BE15429B3CE696D6807F4D4A58B1BFEC45C822

 {{{
 "bandwidth_rate":4194304,"bandwidth_burst":6291456,"observed_bandwidth":4885457,"advertised_bandwidth":4194304
 }}}

 I assume that, previously, `"observed_bandwidth"` was lower than
 `"bandwidth_rate"` and `"bandwidth_burst"`.  It just took some time for
 clients to use the relay and put some real load on it.

 So, I think this is not a bug.

 But do you want to suggest how Globe's interface could make this clearer?
