just reporting on my experience with trying to snag unclaimed permits at 7:00 am on 4-15. I got in precisely at 7:00 am, navigated to my date, saw the ones I wanted, tried to reserve . . . and they were gone already--probably by about 20 seconds in. I tried several others, but they were all gone. I'm guessing that someone's bots were faster than my fingers.
Were you looking at one-day permits or over night?
I was able to get an overnight for 4th of July weekend. The permits seemed to go quick, but not "bot like" quick. I think I saw weekend one-day permits available for the middle of summer still available several minutes after 7.
