Numbers

Where these numbers come from

Every day count on this page maps to a real date — none of it is guesswork.

267daysThis run
441daysSince the first launch
138daysTime offline

How the baseline is set

  • Start

    2025-08-26 — first public launch; that day counts as day 1.

  • Pause

    2025-10-01 — forced to pause; offline for 138 days.

  • Reopen

    2026-02-16 — reopened and the counter restarted at day 1.

So "this run: 267 days" and "since the first launch: 441 days" are different numbers and both are right — the first one excludes the 138 days offline.
