The highest I've ever had was mid-70's, and I usually have somewhere in the mid-30's, so it's not that rough to keep track of.
If I started getting 100+, I'd likely have to re-think how I counted. I'm also not looking for an exact count, but more to help me know roughly how much candy/glowsticks I should be looking to make sure I have for next year.

I had about a dozen at once, multiple times I had 6 to 10. They kind of came between 6 and 7ish and then fizzled out. Most years, they start at 5ish in my neighborhood.
I do the old 1111 with a slash through for counting. Keep a pen and paper at the door.
