OPD August Update:
Current status of work units
CPU
  • Available for download: 2,110 batches
  • 28-day average of 94.0 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 21.5 days
GPU
  • Available for download: 3,357 batches
  • 28-day average of 398 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 8.8 days
OPD September Update:
Current status of work units
CPU
  • Available for download: 4,328 batches
  • 28-day average of 79 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 54.1 days
GPU
  • Available for download: 4,080 batches
  • 28-day average of 266 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 13.2 days
OPD October Update:
Current status of work units
CPU
  • Available for download: 9,511 batches
  • 28-day average of 681 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 14.6 days
GPU
  • Available for download: 10,219 batches
  • 28-day average of 296 batches per day
  • Estimated backlog: 34.5 days
There is a curious discrepancy of the CPU participation, from 94 b/d to 79 b/d to 681 b/d.
But GPU participation is about the same, from 398 b/d to 266 b/d to 296 b/d.

I take it from the latter that there is still a limiter active in the GPU work scheduler, such that only a limited amount of GPU work is given out per day, less than what the entirety of active WCG contributors could get done without this limiter.
