Ok, strange development, and if you don't care about my conversions, move to the next comment....

My last conversion was at in the wee early morning hours at 12:39am
My last comment (above at 4:39pm) was commenting on the lack of daytime sales conversions, which is very peculiar. So, tonight at 7:58 pm, about 19 hours after the last sale, the spigot re-opened. Then, conversions again at:
8:47pm
8:49pm
9:16pm
9:45pm
9:53pm
10:05pm
The night's not over yet, but I find it very odd that the entire daylight hours can't produce, but then a very obvious window suddenly opens up. This on/off pattern is what we've been observing and sharing with others who are seeing the same anomalous patterns. Did anyone else notice an opening of the spigot at approximately 8pm CST? I'll dig through my data tomorrow morning, but I doubt it will indicate anything obvious. If the algo is reading this, thanks for the "on" period.

BTW, in the "good old days" this regular pattern would begin at about 5am and continue unabated until 11pm.
It followed that pattern for many years.
