Back to the original topic: Here are the rates I’ve seen in the past week. Note that the yaxis scale is now requests/second.

There is a noticeable diurnal pattern. There may be a ~15% increase on 12-15/12-16. I don’t see a significant change such as [Profile - MagicNTP - NTP Pool Project](https://community.ntppool.org/u/magicntp) showed in his first graph.

There are several abusive clients, but these peak at ~hundreds of requests/second.  
There were ~5 1N14 requests / second (see arduino NTP library and [this](https://community.ntppool.org/t/high-request-rates-from-nixie-clocks/3338))  
I didn’t see anything unusual.
