I'm not sure if you've read this link that was provided earlier:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay

"A new relay, assuming it is reliable and has plenty of bandwidth,
goes through four phases: the unmeasured phase (days 0-3) where it
gets roughly no use, the remote-measurement phase (days 3-8) where
load starts to increase"

The "assuming" should also specify:
* low latency to North America / Western Europe, and
* can handle thousands of simultaneous connections.

Also, in my experience, the unmeasured and ramp-up phases are several
times longer than specified in this post.

I'm going to repeat the advice I sent to the list a week ago:

And I'll update the advice I sent to you individually for those two
fingerprints:

(Neither of these measurements will be reliable until the relays have been
up for a few weeks. You can look them up yourself at that time.)

> Your relay can be monitored using atlas at:

ZG0: 
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/31B8C4C4F1C78F923BD906769297B15A428C4A04
GG2: 
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/707A9A3358E0D8653089AF32A097570A96400CC6

ZG0: 81.35 KByte/s
GG2: 170.79 KByte/s

ZG0: 81
GG2: 170

> Your bandwidth rate and burst are

ZG0: 256 KByte/s and 358.4 KByte/s
GG2: 153.6 KByte/s and 179.2 KByte/s

Your relay is limited by:

ZG0: its own ability to sustain more than 81.35 KByte/s over a 10 second
     period
GG2: the bandwidth rate of 153.6 KByte/s

In summary:

ZG0: the relay itself reports that it is unable to sustain much tor
     traffic.
GG2: it appears that the relay could handle more traffic, if you
     increased the bandwidth rate and bandwidth burst.

I feel like I've given the same advice about ZG0 several times now, so
I'm going to leave that with you to resolve however you want.
