Necro alert !!
Again, the same server has exhibited the same thing.? It has lost the Guard, HS Dir, and Long-Lived (Stable) flags, despite being up for almost 5 months with no reduction in Bandwidth.
Cheers.

I currently run 3 relays, across different servers and today I noticed that one has now lost it's Guard and HS Dir flags.? What's surprising is that this particular relay has the highest Bandwidth and Consensus Weight of all 3 and has not been restarted for over a month.
The stats for all 3 can be found with:? OhNoAnotherRelay
I know that just running the relay is the important part and caring about what flags it has is a side issue, but I'm just interested in seeing why this has happened.
Cheers.
Now the relay has lost the Long-Lived Circuits flag despite showing an up-time of 34 days.
You mean the Stable flag? Seems to be back now at least. I've filed a ticket[1], though, to look a bit closer at what is going on but am not sure how fast we get to that (help is welcomed!).
And the Stable flag has gone again.
There's something strange going on here.
Maybe. :)
Yes, there definitely is, as I have been pointing out repeatedly on this list over the last several years. The Authority servers *used* to deal out these flags rationally and consistently before that time. Since then they have acted capriciously w.r.t. to those flags. BTW, you omitted the Fast flag, which has also been subject to such mishandling.
