Addendum: Did a bit of research (or rather checked some random relays on Atlas).
It seems like it's not only my relay that experienced a significant drop at the same time. I can't find anything obvious these relays have in common. new/old, large/small, guard/exit/middle, different countries and ASes. So it might be BWAuth related after all.
