check.tpo times out, and sometimes bridges.tpo too
People are noticing check.tpo is timing out. I thought this was as service issue and had open a bug for it (tpo/network-health/metrics/tor-check#40011 (closed)) but I have also noticed a lot of network activity for the machine (https://grafana1.torproject.org/d/xfpJB9FGz/1-node-exporter-for-prometheus-dashboard-en-v20201010?orgId=1&var-origin_prometheus=&var-job=node&var-hostname=All&var-node=check-01.torproject.org:9100&var-device=All&var-interval=2m&var-maxmount=%2Fsrv&var-show_hostname=check-01&var-total=94) could it be that check is getting a lot of requests?
