Thank you. What exactly does the stable flag do? 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. Thank you very much. From: teor
The thresholds vary on each directory authority. They are stable-uptime (~15 days) and stable-mtbf (~26 days) in this table: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#flagthresholds Each figure is in seconds. Your relay's uptime is listed in its descriptor, in its heartbeat messages, or on relay search. Your relay's weighted MTBF is different on each directory authority. It isn't published by the directory authorities. My advice: just keep your relay as stable as you can, and it will probably get Stable. If it doesn't after a month or so, try a more reliable provider. Relay flags are chosen so clients get the best network experience. Missing a few flags for a while doesn't really matter. T
