Every five minutes, from the Steam server list.
Hourly average and peak, UTC.

Server performance
48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
Rank
Top 36% of all ranked servers. Ranked on player hours over the last seven days.
Wipe schedule
Its wipes keep no rhythm, so there is no next wipe to predict. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
