That's what I was hoping to get from the "Numbers" section.

I generally don't look up the logs or numbers on my tiny, personal web spaces hosted on my server, and I imagine I could, at some point, become the victim of aggressive crawling (or maybe I have without noticing because I've got an oversized server on a dual link connection).

But the numbers actually only show the performance of doing the PoW, not the effect it has had on any site — I am just curious, and I'd love it if someone has done the analysis, ideally grouped by the bot type ("OpenAI bot was responsible for 17% of all requests, this got reduced from 900k requests a day to 0 a day"...). Search, unfortunately, only gives me all the "Anubis is helping fight aggressive crawling" blog articles, nothing with substance (I haven't tried hard, I admit).

Edit: from further down the thread there's https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/81... but no analysis of how many real customers were denied — more data would be even better
