It should be noted that there has been the relaxation of 5,000 bytes per day since January 2021 [1]. Since the submission is required to have at least 1% improvement over the last valid submission plus the relaxation, the last winner can submit the virtually same submission after 234 (= ceil(1,166,736 / 5,000)) days of inactivity to claim the award. In practice this would mean that a smaller tweak that was so far unable to pass the minimum improvement threshold is now eligible.
