 From #20499:

 At startup (or reload) the relay fetches the microdesc consensus

 1 minute later it tries to fetch it again
 (update_consensus_networkstatus_downloads() is called) and receives a 304
 response as it hasn't been modified

 download_status_increment_failure() gets called with a status_code of 304

 update_consensus_networkstatus_downloads() gets called again, this time it
 stops at the call to connection_dir_count_by_purpose_and_resource() which
 returns 1 (equal to max_in_progress_conns)

 download_status_increment_failure() gets called again, this time with a
 status_code of 0 (as a result each 304 response results in the fail count
 being increased by 2)
