Hello Tim, I don't have access to that type of information about reports, so I can't really speak knowledgeably.
To wildly speculate, I'd think that most API users run their reports in the morning, around 6-8 hours after the end of the previous day. And I believe that a scheduled daily report set up using the web interface runs at around that time as well. I also don't know what the breakdown is of advertisers in different regions of the world (and if I did, I'm sure that's something I wouldn't be able to share), but I'm going to assume that there's a decent spread throughout all the different timezones. I think that alone would help achieve a relative balance in our report volumes throughout the day.
