The Prediction, Checked

predicted  2026-09-24   150,000 on 2026-09-25
forecast                ~150,089
counted    2026-09-25   150,149   (+60)

npm 136,030 · PyPI 12,187 · crates 1,932

The countdown gave the date, the arithmetic and the number it would be checked against. All three held. The count is the same hard floor as before: npm and crates.io as reported, PyPI as without_mirrors only.

One Thing We Got Wrong

The countdown said the meter refreshes at 09:00 UTC. That is when the job is scheduled. In practice GitHub has started it between about 13:45 and 15:30 UTC every day this week.

Today's run started at 14:15 UTC and read 149,461: short of 150,000. The reason was npm, not the downloads. npm publishes each day's counts late, and at 14:15 it had not yet published September 24. PyPI and crates.io had updated; npm still showed the day before.

14:15 UTC  scheduled refresh   149,461   npm day not yet published
later      npm publishes Sep 24
23:27 UTC  manual refresh      150,149   commit 6337cf2

Once npm caught up, we re-ran the refresh by hand and deployed it. The banner has read 150.1k since. The number itself did not move; only the time it became visible did.

The Numbers

These tiles and the tables below are live: 158,191 today, from the same daily-refreshed source that feeds the site banner. The figures in the text above are frozen at the crossing. Truth page: faf.one/downloads.

No launch, no campaign and no marketing spend behind any of it.
