    So, I received this message in an email: “You just hit the analytics event usage limit of the free plan for the month. 58% of your traffic is currently coming from artificial agents.”

    What does it mean?

    Hi again Neal. You have the analytics feature enabled (the “Enable Agent Analytics” checkbox in the plugin settings page).

    It literally means that more than half of your website’s visitors are bots rather than humans. You can see which bots they are if you log into the Dark Visitors website and go to the “Insights” page for your project.

    Analytics is a paid feature because it uses a lot of compute power. If you’re only interested in the robots.txt feature we talked about before (which is free), then feel free to uncheck the “Enable Agent Analytics” checkbox in the plugin settings page, and ignore that email.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks again for the response, Gavin!

    I have unchecked the “Enable Agent Analytics” checkbox in the plugin settings page.

    PS: Is it usual for more than half of a website’s visitors to be bots rather than humans?

    Nope, ~50% is actually pretty common: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+of+internet+traffic+is+bots

    The point of the Agent Analytics feature is actually to analyze this type of traffic.
