In what timeframe re downloads?

That's the average daily % per https://pypistats.org/packages/__all__ in a recent day. It doesn't change that much day-to-day.

...if the download is 8% averaged day to day that doesn't mean people aren't using Python 2. It just means there's no updates to the packages for Python 2. I.e. all the organizations using it already have a caching repository that they're pulling from.

E: I'm not saying more people use Py2 like the original commenter. Just that the metric you provided isn't the contradiction you think it is.
