+ "recent_consensus_count=" Int NL

+ [Zero or one time.].
+
+ The number of the different consensuses seen in the last data_period
+ days. (data_period is 5 by default.)
+
+ Assuming that Tor clients fetch a consensus every 1-2 hours,
+ and that the data_period is 5 days, the Value of this Key SHOULD be
+ between:
+ data_period * 24 / 2 = 60
+ data_period * 24 = 120
+
+ This Line was added in version 1.4.0 of this specification.
+
+ "recent_priority_list_count=" Int NL
+
+ [Zero or one time.]
+
+ The number of times that a list with a subset of relays prioritized
+ to be measured has been created in the last data_period days.
+ (data_period is 5 by default.)
+
+ In 2019, with 7000 relays in the network, the Value of this Key SHOULD be
+ approximately:
+ data_period * 24 / 1.5 = 80
+ Being 1.5 the approximate number of hours it takes to measure a
+ priority list of 7000 * 0.05 (350) relays, when the fraction of relays
+ in a priority list is the 5% (0.05).

+ "recent_priority_relay_count=" Int NL
+
+ [Zero or one time.]
+
+ The number of relays that has been in in the list of relays prioritized
+ to be measured in the last data_period days. (data_period is 5 by
+ default.)
+
+ In 2019, with 7000 relays in the network, the Value of this Key SHOULD be
+ approximately:
+ 80 * (7000 * 0.05) = 28000
+ Being 0.05 (5%) the fraction of relays in a priority list and 80
+ the approximate number of priority lists (see
+ "recent_priority_list_count").

+ [Zero or one time.]

+ The number of times that any relay has been queued to be measured
+ in the last data_period days. (data_period is 5 by default.)
+
+ In 2019, with 7000 relays in the network, the Value of this Key SHOULD be
+ approximately the same as "recent_priority_relay_count",
+ assuming that there is one attempt to measure a relay for each relay that
+ has been prioritized unless there are system, network or implementation
+ issues.
