 Replying to [comment:2 teor]:

 We think it might have worked on this relay, which is new:
 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/005DB7EE36E6DA6C7E178B0C36BE8794C1072720

 This seems to be true for most relays below 1000 consensus weight.

 > * we don't know if DirPort bytes count in rephist (they seem to in the
 code, but we're not sure).

 I think they do count.

 But they were delayed because relays take up to 4 hours to notice when
 these numbers have gone up, because that's the current
 NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_INTERVAL.

 We're trying it on 100 of the slowest relays. I'll attach the selection
 script and trial list / script.
