My relay jumped to 13500 weight, then back to 1. Even thought relay is really young, this is (in my opinnion) not normal behavior?
Tor notice logs doesnt give any error, and relay got unmettered bandwidth.

Thanks for running a relay!
You can see the individual bandwidth votes about your relay by going
to the bottom of Consensus health
and putting in your fingerprint. The directory authorities use the "low
median" among the bw values (once there are at least 3) to decide what
your consensus weight should be.
I see that your consensus weight is back up now, but some of the
directory authorities still vote quite low numbers for you. We could
go reconstruct each of the individual hourly votes from the data at
Index of /recent but I have not done so. Maybe
one of the directory authorities that was voting high for you stopped
voting for a bit and that's how you dropped back down?
My guess is that in the next few days the dir auths that are voting low
will measure you against your new higher self-reported bandwidth and
then also give you a higher vote, and things will stabilize.
(If you weren't in northern Europe I would have a different answer,
which is that our measurement approach is over-estimating bandwidth in
northern Europe and underestimating it elsewhere, because we measure with
two-hop circuits so relays that are near other fast relays will end up
seen as faster. This is a problem for overall network load balancing,
and for overall security since we concentrate too much traffic in that
region, but in your particular case it should help your relay end up
with a higher consensus weight once there have been enough measurements.)
