Reading history
One point per day, each of them the 30-day window ending that day. A day with no snapshot is a gap in the line, never a line drawn through it.
History starts when seven daily snapshots exist with a reading.
Daily snapshots with a reading so far: 0. A snapshot is written once a day and carries a reading only once the subject has ten counted ballots in the window.

A quarantined or excluded ballot is recorded and not counted, and nothing is ever deleted: releasing one makes it count again. The excluded figure is site-wide because the exclusion list stores a ballot id, a reason and a date, and not a subject, so a per-subject figure would be a guess. How exclusions work.

Why people split
The split is geographic, not random. YouGov's county-level map shows the 'rhymes with gone' pronunciation dominating the far north of England (84-88% in Northumberland, Durham, Cumbria and Tyne & Wear) and 68-81% across every region of Scotland. Drop south only as far as Derbyshire and South Yorkshire and it flips: 78-79% there say it to rhyme with 'bone'. Outside that Yorkshire and East Midlands pocket, only Essex (69%) and Cornwall (58%) give 'bone' a clear majority, and the counties in between (Somerset, Greater London, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, East Sussex, Suffolk) are almost exactly split. Because the dividing line follows no familiar regional boundary, nearly everyone in Britain lives near someone who says it the other way, which is why the argument never resolves. It is also not new. Punch magazine was already making a joke of the distinction in 1913, in a verse about a maid sent to order a buttered scone who comes back with a buttered scone.
