I did something wrong or webtunnel is a big waste of resources

I guess this last heartbeat is very recent, very recent than 59 days ago.

Yes it was the heartbeat from day 59…much didn’t changed until day 63 (today)

10:25:52 [NOTICE] Heartbeat: Tor’s uptime is 63 days 12:00 hours, with 20 circuits open. I’ve sent 523.73 MB and received 2.57 GB. I’ve received 275 connections on IPv4 and 0 on IPv6. I’ve made 3718 connections with IPv4 and 0 with  
IPv6. [1 duplicate hidden]

And after i looked now the public available statistics [Relay Search](https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/transport:webtunnel?fields=transports) it seems i’m not the only one. From 336 webtunnels maximum 130 have users/traffic.
