I do not fully understand the cause of it yet, but I did find a rather nasty bug in the treatment of Guard nodes, where we were not properly using the "bwauthmercy" consensus param for them, and were punishing slow guards through multiple rounds of negative feedback. This could skew the metrics data, and could alter the flow of traffic through the rest of the network, but there may be other issues at work, too :/. I am going to wait until the Guard numbers recover from the bug, which should take 24-48hrs, and then dig deeper next week if the metrics numbers still persist to be bad. Please ping back then if your relays still appear to be underloaded (or overloaded to the point of emitting warns about having too many circuit creation requests in the log). -- Mike Perry
