I just took a look at bridgestrap's metrics and practically all bridges are labelled as offline. Turns out that tor went to sleep a while ago:

[...]
Dec 09 18:58:47.000 [notice] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 1 day 0:00 hours, with 0 circuits open. I've sent 5.04 MB and received 18.10 MB. I've received 0 connections on IPv4 and 0 on IPv6. I've made 1935 connections with IPv4 and 2 with IPv6.
