Did anyone else notice a weird increase or decrease in either bot traffic or referred visitors across you sites over the last day or so?

Yep, I'm reading up 30% on average across about 30 websites. I don't know what did it because search traffic is actually down for my main keywords as well. I would assume something as allowing more traffic as credible happened.

Any chance you know the last time you updated the key word page by chance? Trying to collect data on what they did.

Looks like there was, or, an ongoing update.

I've noticed a jump up in some of my terms, with one going from position 18 to number 3. No links have been built to this page. There's a similar trend with other pages, too.

Hmm... I guess this update is pretty much about "on page" optimisation.

I agree. I've had a look at older pages on sites with better metrics but have poor on page optimization and they've tanked a fair bit.

Must be since my page rank decreased from #3 to #12 and I'm mostly using content curation

This happened, but it apparently only rolls out in July and would only harm the "slowest" mobile experience sites. Any of you seeing changes specific to mobile?? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-speed-update-25094.html
