Heya Pizzafan457!
Regarding on how points are assigned, we do look at historical pattern usage and expected flow of bikes! Based on those patterns if we expect to see, let's say hypothetically 10 bikes to come in to a station but 6 being rented out, all within the same hour, that usually means a rider will still get a bike, even if the overall station is low.
Keep in mind that we're just waking up from a winter slumber where rides naturally go down because people don't want to bike in the cold.
On your feedback ideas for streaks, our internal teams have played around with this idea but surprisingly found little benefit for it.
Ideally the goal of the streaks in general is to encourage some bikes within the same day, we'll keep the feedback of extending 2x and 3x streaks to longer lengths if things do change though!
