One theory might be that the addition of a new bwauth has shifted which vote gets picked for the consensus. It's conceivable that bwauths rate relays which are placed topologically close higher than others.
Thank you for your suggestion. I hope that is not the case and the drop in consensus weight is just a temporary glitch. I will post to the development mailing list to see if the techies can comment on this.
Paying hundreds of dollars of my hard earned money for a relay that is not being used by the network is not something I will keep doing for long. I support the goals and ideology of Tor, but the project will lose me as a volunteer if consensus weight does not restore soon.
Did you check whether the consensus weight *fraction* also dropped? If all consensus weights dropped by a certain factor, there's no change in the probability of clients choosing your relay at all.
Take a look at Atlas' or Globe's consensus weight fraction graphs and see if they changed over the past weeks or months.
All the best, Karsten
