+ "overload-general" SP version SP YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS NL
+
+ [At most once.]
+
+ Indicate that the relay is overloaded due to one or many conditions
+ listed in proposal 328 section 1.1.
+
+ The timestamp is always rounded to the hour indicating when was the last
+ time the relay detected an overloaded state.
+
+ The 'version' field is a versioning field and is set to '1'. See prop328
+ for what consists of an overload state.
+
+ This field remains in place for 72 hours since last triggered. If the
+ limits are reached again in this period, the timestamp is updated, and
+ this 72 hour period restarts.
+
+ This indicator is not persistent on disk meaning that if the relay
+ restarts, the overload state is reset and disappear from the descriptor.
+
+ [Introduced in version 0.4.6.1-alpha]

+ "overload-ratelimits" SP version SP YYYY-MM-DD SP HH:MM:SS
+ SP rate-limit SP burst-limit
+ SP read-overload-count SP write-overload-count NL
+
+ [At most once.]
+
+ Indiate that the relay read or write rate limits were reached which is
+ a specific overload signal.
+
+ The 'version' field is a versioning field and is set to '1'.
+
+ The '{rate|burst}-limit' are respectively the torrc options
+ 'BandwidthBurst' and 'BandwidthRate' limits set by the relay. In other
+ words, they are the bandwidth limitations of the relay.
+
+ The "{read|write}-overload-count" are the counts of how many times the
+ reported limits of burst/rate were exhausted and thus the maximum
+ between the read and write count occurrences. To make the counter more
+ meaningful and to avoid multiple connections saturating the counter when
+ a relay is overloaded, we only increment it once a minute.
+
+ They span from the past 24 hours starting at the provided timestamp
+ rounded down to the hour.
+
+ These counters are not persistent on disk meaning that if the relay
+ restarts, the overload state is reset and disappear from the descriptor.

+ [Introduced in version 0.4.6.1-alpha]
+
+ "overload-fd-exhausted" SP version YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS NL
+
+ [At most once.]
+
+ As the overloaded line, the timestamp indicates that the maximum of file
+ descriptors was reached between this timestamp and the "published"
+ timestamp of the document.
+
+ This overload field remains in place for 72 hours since last triggered.
+ If the limits are reached again in this period, the timestamp is
+ updated, and this 72 hour period restarts.
+
+ The 'version' field is a versioning field and is set to '1'.
+
+ This indicator is not persistent on disk meaning that if the relay
+ restarts, the overload state is reset and disappear from the descriptor.
