Bridge behavior is decidedly different than normal relay behavior--I've been running one for a year.
Normal relays get poked fairly often by the four "BWAuth" bandwidth authorities and bandwidth starts at 20KB and rises steadily from the get-go. I suppose the bandwidth calculation is passive in both situations, but with a new bridge there is zero traffic until it's given out to users. So the self-calculation decays steadily to zero instead of rising steadily as with a regular relay. Regular relays get hit with traffic as soon as they show up in the authority consensus.
