There are 8 authorities, and 4 think your relay should be a guard.
Whenever a 5th joins them, your relay is a guard, when it doesn’t, your relay 
isn’t.

See the entry in https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html 
<https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html>

There are a number of factors involved in guard selection:
* Your bandwidth seems to fluctuate, which could cause the guard flag to 
fluctuate as well. Unfortunately, the guard flag then causes your bandwidth to 
fluctuate. So it’s hard to tell what the cause is here, and whether the relay’s 
Guard flag is in some kind of bandwidth-driven loop. Have you looked at the 
bwauth votes for your relay?
* Your uptime is ok (for the last month).
* There could be other factors.

Give it a week or so to stabilise, or, alternately, limit the bandwidth to stop 
it fluctuating so much.
