Sitescout Bursts of Traffic

Have you guys noticed that you get a burst of traffic on a new Sitescout campaign? Or on a campaign that has been offline for a while then put online?

I unpaused a campaign today and it started off almost uncontrollably fast... If I set the budget at $20 it would spend $27, if I set it at $100 it would spend $120 before it stopped... but as I optimized ads out and spent a few hundred dollars the speed of traffic trickled off.

Curious if their system is similar to Pulse360 or Admob, they send a huge blast to check you out and then it can slow down.

the targets you select with alot of traffic always go over cause they are coming in so fast then when you start removing them the traffic will disappear. the jeet target if you put in 20 bucks it will go over 100 bucks cause its coming in so fast it will trickle more than some target thats only 100k impressions a day.
