Relays used to check every 10 to 60 seconds, as an accidental side effect of calling directory_fetches_from_authorities() when considering doing a directory fetch. The fix for bug 1992 removes that side effect. At the same time, bridge relays never had the side effect, leading to confused bridge operators who tried crazy tricks to get their bridges to notice IP address changes (see ticket 1913). The new behavior is to reinstate an every-60-seconds check for both public relays and bridge relays, now that the side effect is gone.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
