Comment (by teor):

 Hi, the answer to this question is:

 sbws only reports bandwidths for Running relays, but torflow reports
 bandwidths for all relays it has recently measured.

 Here is the evidence:

 longclaw's bandwidth file says:
 {{{
 1559468088
 number_consensus_relays=6552
 number_eligible_relays=6328
 percent_eligible_relays=97
 }}}
 http://199.58.81.140/tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth

 moria1's bandwidth file says:
 {{{
 $ curl http://128.31.0.34:9131/tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth | wc -l
 8955
 }}}

 consensus health says:
 {{{
 faravahar       7490 total      6576 Running
 consensus                       6603 Running
 }}}
 https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#numberofrelays

 Our next step is to fix the 90% failure rate in #30719. That might improve
 longclaw's measurement rate above 97%.
