Wondering how to read this. Does it mean we’re #1, or just very high performing?

I believe it is specific to your genre, and it does not mean you are the top game (by playtime). Consider there are potentially hundreds of thousands of experiences being compared by playtime for your genre; that means there could be thousands of experiences in the 100th percentile.
Undoubtedly, being in the 100th percentile for playtime should help your chances with the algorithm for Discovery.
Edit: Also, keep in mind that if this data is coming from a small player-base; they are largely inaccurate. When my player-base shrinks at times, the playtime shoots up sporadically. This is because players who are playing for 1hr+ are impacting the average playtime far more than they normally would be with a large playerbase.

Thanks for the note about genre specificity.
My question on whether it means we’re the #1 (in this case, #1 for our genre) is that, mathematically, a 100th percentile doesn’t exist. The top 1% is still the 99th percentile.
Even though it is mathematically wrong, I know some datasets will use 100th percentile to indicate the maximum datapoint in a set - is that how I should be reading this? Or is it a case where Roblox is rounding, for example, 99.6 to 100?

I could not answer that. It’s a good question, and likely is the case that it’s rounding up.
