Each bar is one day’s change in the store’s own counter. Open VSX counts a download on every update, so a day includes updates by people who already had it. Days before 5 Sept are reconstructed from public archives rather than read by us.

Seven days here. Tracking adds every day since 5 Sept 2026, with release markers.Track this extension
