In that example, the "more than 3 hours" is less than 5% of "all lounge goers", but they're 50% of the occupancy.

AC definitely has data on lounge entry and dwell time (which is the single metric they've publicly stated is causing all the issues), so I have to believe they think it will have a noticeable impact.
