Hi @eastmael, thanks for your comments! There's not really a limit to the number of bots (apart from the number of accounts in Steem). The current number of bots is far off from any limit. The amount of SP dedicated to bid-bots in relation to all available SP was analyzed by @abh12345 in the contribution linked in the introduction and was in the order of around 20% of all available SP. Repeating this was not in the scope of this contribution, but to confirm that a fixed "bot-list" approach is suitable and yields correct results.
