Today we've rolled out an update to our statistics gathering and processing code with some great improvements.

The first change reduces the individual pieces of customer stat information (for your dashboard stats page) we need to sync between our server nodes by 50% while retaining the same information as before, effectively we have reduced redundant stats. This change will have a measurable effect on how fast your stats are updated within your dashboard.

The second change is we're now performing query refunds when you send us multiple addresses to be checked and the query volume goes over the allotted 1,000 or the 90 second processing time window is exhausted.

So for example if you send us 1,500 addresses to be processed you will initially have 1,500 queries added to your accounts query total. But if we were only able to process 700 of those addresses your account will receive a refund of the remaining 800 queries that we didn't process. The refund is almost immediate.

We feel this change (refunding non-processed queries) is fairer to our customers as it doesn't cost us much computationally to not process data that is sent to our servers and it will allow you to re-send the data for processing without worrying about query overages.

Also before we made this change we never charged for invalid addresses, these new changes affect only multi-check queries that go above our query allowance of 1,000 addresses per query or queries which exhaust the 90 second processing time window.

During these upgrades we also discovered and corrected a bug which under-reported VPN, Proxy and Refused query breakdowns as displayed within your dashboard when you made use of the multi-ip checking feature (both via API and our Web Interface). This bug only ever affected our v2 API endpoint and only when performing multiple checks in a single query.

Thanks for reading and we hope everyone had a great weekend.
