How about current positions/hour global chart

As the world adjusts to the current COVID-190 virus, air travel is restricted, halted, etc.

When I look at the stats page Feeder Statistics - FlightAware I make note of the current positions per hour, currently at 84,523,167, at the top of the page. I think I’ve seen 125 million / hour a few weeks back.

As we all ponder our own sites and dropping numbers I think it would be interesting to see a chart that shows total numbers over some amount of hours/days.

Is this something the FA team could easily add? If website traffic is a concern, maybe require a logged-in user to access the page.

Another approach would be to create a few interesting charts and use it to promote the FlightAware App and do a press release of some sort. You have unique and interesting information and might as well put it to use.

These are just file sizes, not position counts, and it’s only from one server - but, very roughly, traffic is down about 50% at thiis stage.
