Comment:
Hm. The purpose is "fetch v2 networkstatus" and the function is
directory_get_from_dirserver. That's getting invoked via
update_v2_networkstatus_cache_downloads, or possibly via
connection_dir_download_v2_networkstatus_failed.
I wonder if it's crucial here that maatuska is an authority, but not a v2
authority.
Looking at the code for update_v2_networkstatus_cache_downloads , it seems
to be correctly rate-limiting itself with the "if
(last_networkstatus_download_attempted + interval >= now)" check.
connection_dir_download_v2_networkstatus_failed can only get called when a
download that makes it as far as getting a connection fails. And so far
as I can tell, in the case where this warning appears, there is no actual
connection made.
More investigation needed; a stack trace would help a lot.
