Yes I have also lost the Guard and HSDir flags. I agree with you that these 
seem to be predicated on gaining the Stable flag, which is my focus for this 
thread. Basically, most of the DAs do not believe my relay's reported uptime, 
which at the time of writing is over 12 days. I would like to understand why 
this is happening. I suspect network issues (routing, peering or socket 
resources) are at play here but instead of spending time speculating I would 
prefer if the DA operators could assist me with this. The DAs which are 
witholding the flag are tor26, gabelmoo, dannenberg, maatuska and bastet.

I also agree with you that there appear to be wider problems with the consensus 
health overall, but to me the issues have increased noticably in the past few 
months.

2GB of RAM overall and over 500MB still available. Not a RAM issue.

I'd rather not share those kinds of outputs publicly.
