Yes, changing other relays' bandwidths can affect the Guard flag, because Guard is given to the fastest, most stable relays.

I'm not convinced that this is the culprit for the mentioned relay [1].

I found another relay [2] where at least 4 of the 9 authorities doesn't set the "Running" flag, which is needed for "Guard", right? That relay has a reasonable bw value to (23,000 , FWIW the value for [1] is about 90,000).

So now I do wonder why the Running flag is lost after a year.
