Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:1 cypherpunks]:
 > Give up on a slow guard, pick a new guard, then revert back to the
 previous guard if it becomes fast (i.e. the Fast relay flag) again?

 > FWIW I experienced this same issue when I was using some obfs4 bridges
 last year, unfortunately I don't think there can be anything done to
 address this issue with bridges at least currently.

 The guard dropped to 670kBps reported bandwidth, but measures at 4000 and
 observes itself at 6MBps. So it didn't lose the Fast flag as far as I can
 tell.
