Comment (by wagon):

 > There are two answers to that question:
 > 1. Use `GETINFO dir/status-vote/current/consensus-microdesc` gets the
 microdesc consensus.
 > 2. Tor updates the consensus flavour(s) that it is using or caching at
 random every hour or two.
 Neither google nor `GETINFO info/names` knows the command `dir/status-
 vote/current/consensus-microdesc`. Did you mean `dir/status-
 vote/current/consensus`? Let me tell it in more detailed way:
 1. I added `UseMicrodescriptors 0` to `torrc` few days back. Timestamp at
 file `cached-microdesc-consensus` says it wasn't updated since that time.
 There are also other signs that this file isn't updated for a log time
 now.
 2. During last days I did run many `GETINFO` commands, also `dir/status-
 vote/current/consensus`. However, the file `cached-microdesc-consensus`
 wasn't updated.
 3. Tor was running during last days.
 So, I cannot match your explanation with what I see.
