Hi Georg,
re. relay: 41D4F82AB54AE5C5FB8D3CD24B4FC84350EFEF03
Thanks for the reply. I can see from my ticket logs with the vps provider that I alluded to stopping the vps service on 2024-11-11 in a ticket relating to a different subject. It looks like I paid for the annual subscription on the 2024-11-24 - the billing info is not too clear. Not sure why the last few months particularly should have a lower performance, though.
Thanks for any insights.

So they do boost / throttle to suit themselves.Could you give us some dates about when you talked to the admins, when
you renewed etc. so we can try to look at the behavior of your relay
during that time and correlate those dates with drops/raises of its
consensus weight?> So my question is: Is my last few months lower efficacy likely due to Tor (consensus weight) or throttling by my vps provider?
I am not sure yet but I might be able to give you an educated guess
after looking closer at your relay's data with the help of the dates I
asked you about above.Georg
