Per https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-statistics-stdev/ shouldn't the numerator read (float(count64)-1) ?

I guess using Bessel's correction here wouldn't hurt. Though, for larger request counts (if request count > 75 the bias is below 1%) using uncorrected sample deviation should be acceptable.
