Addendum: Did a bit of research (or rather checked some random relays on Atlas).
It seems like it's not only my relay that experienced a significant drop at the same time. I can't find anything obvious these relays have in common. new/old, large/small, guard/exit/middle, different countries and ASes.
So it might be BWAuth related after all.
It's possible! (Likely even.) If you want to try and get a slightly deeper of level of understanding, I can suggest some things, but the general recommendation of "wait a few weeks" is still the main action to take. We're sorry for the dip, and we greatly appreciate you sticking it out while the network catches up with what you're able to contribute.
If you want to investigate I would grab the recent votes and consensuses from collector (https://collector.torproject.org/). Look at the votes by the bwauths (maatuska, gabelmoo, moria1, Faravahar, and longclaw) and see how they measure you. Look also for when the figure changes (it should be every 2-4 days.) Look at what figure winds up in the consensus and confirm it dips with your measured traffic dip. You can watch these figures to see when you can expect your traffic to rise.
And, if you're the truly pioneering sort, you could investigate integrating this type of measurement/analysis into Atlas or a similar tool.
