Thanks very much. The anomalous peaks disappeared for most of the days indeed, it remained only for 26/02.
Yes, working to fix the bump for 26/02.

Hello there.
I see on every exit node I check on the metrics page, a massive bump in bandwidth used without a change in exit probability.
I just checked the metrics page for the relay I operate (791E637A38C715336290E8AC0EB6C99BD02A5F0E) and I noticed a bump similar to the one from FDAA4F76F778215F02B0B02DCE8E8504179BCDC6. However, my relay is not and has never been an exit relay. Also, it looks like the data changed retroactively: I usually check the metrics about once a day and I'm sure I would have noticed the peak of 26/02 the day after - I mean, it is a more than x3 increment from the day before (that also had the highest value ever until then). Should I worry about that? And should I report my own relay to the bad-relays mailing list?
No, it's fine. I am not sure yet what the problem is but I suspect it's a bug in one of our recent code changes. See:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/onionoo/-/issues/40...
for more details. We've reverted that change for now and things should normalize again assuming the traffic increase you see is indeed related to it.

Thanks for the help.
