Hello there.
I see on every exit node I check on the metrics page, a massive
bump in bandwidth used without a change in exit probability.
I just checked the metrics page for the relay I operate
(791E637A38C715336290E8AC0EB6C99BD02A5F0E) and I noticed a bump
similar to the one from FDAA4F76F778215F02B0B02DCE8E8504179BCDC6.
However, my relay is not and has never been an exit relay. Also, it
looks like the data changed retroactively: I usually check the
metrics about once a day and I'm sure I would have noticed the peak
of 26/02 the day after - I mean, it is a more than x3 increment
from the day before (that also had the highest value ever until
then). Should I worry about that? And should I report my own relay
to the bad-relays mailing list?
No, it's fine. I am not sure yet what the problem is but I suspect
it's a bug in one of our recent code changes. See:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/onionoo/-/issues/40022#note_2783524
for more details. We've reverted that change for now and things
should normalize again assuming the traffic increase you see is
indeed related to it.

Thanks for the help.

this perhaps an attacker squeezing the bandwidth of the network so
people are more likely to use their malicious nodes?
