Still measuring. The typical week needs 28 days of our own readings; the first reading has not arrived yet. Nothing is back-filled or estimated, so this stays empty until then.

Questions and answers
When are Optimism fees lowest?
This page needs four weeks of our own hourly readings before it names an hour. Until then it shows only what has been measured.
Why use the price per unit instead of the dollar fee?
The unit price (gwei) shows network demand alone. A dollar figure would also move with the price of ETH, which says nothing about when the network is quiet.
Why not just trust an article that names a time?
Most were written years ago from one snapshot and contradict each other. This page reads the chain every five minutes and recomputes the pattern continuously.
