How accurate are wipe schedules?

Of 8,956 wipes on record from the last 30 days, 18 could be compared against a scheduled time within 12 hours. Owner-declared schedules were on time (within 30 minutes) 9 of 9 times (100%). Detected schedules were on time (within 30 minutes) 5 of 8 times (62%). This is why Wipe Board labels every prediction with its source.

Method

Every online Rust server listed by BattleMetrics, refreshed every 10 minutes (servers wiping soon or just wiped: every minute); aim-train and arena servers are excluded from these statistics. Vanilla means BattleMetrics type community or official; group limit and gather rate come from the server's declared settings; wipe cycle is derived from the declared schedule. Percentages are of servers tracked unless stated. See how Wipe Board works.
