Seven invocations plus two quota probes. Incremental result.usage is used instead of cumulative resumed-session totals; some missing output was recovered from deduplicated message usage, so this remains partly estimated.

Orc warrior. Level 1 → 10. /played is time logged in, including thinking and troubleshooting. Level 10 time is the score; unfinished runs show their last level.
Current budget: 24 hours /played. New runs also stop after one hour without their first XP. Logged-out time does not count. Historical results beyond 24 hours are retained; Terra’s 24-hour snapshot was assessed retrospectively.
Newer clean v2 runs use WotLK 3.3.5a AzerothCore x1. Legacy runs had different controls.
Conditions differ. The human baseline is a reference, not a controlled trial.
