Why this matters

A stable block-rate band means the blocklists are doing roughly the same amount of work day over day. A sudden swing can mean: (a) a blocklist became ineffective (filter not catching what it used to — investigate update cadence), (b) a device is pulling an unusual mix of traffic (new service / compromised app), or (c) overall traffic shape changed (someone came home / left).
