Is there really a reason to continue running this relay, even as a bridge? It has a consensus weight of 9. Before the upgrade and subsequent fingerprint reset, it was only at cw 16. The mean middle probability fraction was 0.000103%. The mean on the read/write was less than half a kilobyte per second. It's not really being used.
A bridge exists to allow censored users access to the Tor network. So its consensus weight and use by the Tor network aren't really relevant.
What matters is the bandwidth it can contribute to censored users. The advertised bandwidth is 100KB/s, which is somewhat low for a bridge. As far as I recall, 250KB/s is considered a good minimum for a bridge.
