Hello, I've been running a relay for some weeks. It has now earned the stable flag. Despite this I always have more than 500 inbound and outbound connections but no circuits at all. Is this normal?

It depends what you're using to learn how many circuits you have.

For example, it is quite reasonable that you have a bunch of circuits open for other people, but your relay has no "client" circuits because your Tor hasn't received any client-side application requests lately so it stopped building preemptive circuits.
