I use this information as a reference:


That is the canonical source for documentation. We've spent a fair bit of time updating that site to be current and correct. It's good to see that it's helpful.


That being said, the statistics aren't always perfect. I took a quick look, and there were cases where the stats weren't updated.


I've pushed a change which should help.

Yes.

Issues. See above.

The numbers for requests and responses should be the same.

Hmm... I'm not sure. I'll take a look.
