[network-health] Metrics page incorrectly showing downtime

> Hi - I am having an issue where the Tor Metrics page for my [bridge](https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/FE31AD644BA16316A06B905F8403F73F0C685C3E) will always eventually be showing between 1-2hr downtimes, despite the server showing no notable logs, being reachable, and displaying running circuit/data activity using Nyx.
> 
> I have tried rebooting the machine and the service, which at best fixes it for a week before the displayed downtimes begin.

Okay, so right now things look fine, right? I think the downtime part is 
a bug which is on our radar[1].

The interesting part is why this is working for a bit but then stopping, 
though. Are there any changes on your side that could cause this?

We can look at your bridge and maybe investigate a bit next time when 
this happens. My guess is that the bridge authority is not able to reach 
your bridge at some point and then things start to go south...
