From the top of my head I know about two but I didn't parse historic data to be able to give a more precise answer. > I thought we generally asked operators to keep it to 5%?

Also note that there are operators that would actually appreciate such a limit because they do not want to run more than X% (see tor-relays@). thanks for your reply, nusenu -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_
