By my calculations, your equation is five times as much as it should be.

Also, it's pointless to ban each bot as it's seen. It's common practice to allow the bots to continue as they often interact with other accounts in terms of transactions. Instead of banning a few individual bots, patience allows SE to gather data to determine a much larger web of connections that are also associated with the account and ban them all at once.

This is nothing new.
