24,895 observations across 14,886 unique endpoints this month. Spec-compliant 402 rate: 69.3%. Latency p50 (compliant): 213ms. No self-reported metrics - every number below comes from real probes.
Share of probed endpoints returning a spec-compliant 402 challenge, per weekly full-census round (daily top-500 probes are excluded here: a biased sample would flatter the rate).
