Comment (by dgoulet):
Continuing to dig here on why, this comes from #16861 (parent of #17592)
and the changes file (changes/bug17592) reads:
{{{
+ - Increase the intial circuit build timeout testing frequency, to help
+ ensure that ReducedConnectionPadding clients finish learning a
timeout
+ before their orconn would expire. The initial testing rate was set
back
+ in the days of TAP and before the Tor Browser updater, when we had
to be
+ much more careful about new clients making lots of circuits. With
this
+ change, a circuit build time is learned in about 15-20 minutes,
instead
+ of ~100-120 minutes.
}}}
Originally the timeout was 10 minutes:
{{{
+#define IDLE_TIMEOUT_WHILE_LEARNING (1*60)
-#define IDLE_TIMEOUT_WHILE_LEARNING (10*60)
}}}
Thus it seems that it *is* the intended behavior here. Are we sure about
this? CBT will be happy after 15-20 minutes but at the cost of opening
100+ circuits when a fresh client starts up?
