Arena 1-5% rewards typical cutoff

What's the typical featured and basic arena cutoffs that tend to get people the top 1-5% rewards? I'm looking to start grinding for 6* shards more and want to know what I should be aiming for.
I've read some people say it's safe to grind about 20M in the featured to get 1-5%, but not sure if that's true and I have no idea what to do for the basic.

I think it varies wildly depending on who the Champ is you can get. Better / rarer Champs, the number can go way up.

Typically in feature arena, it takes about 23-25 million for 1-5% rewards

It's generally somewhere around 25mil. It's been lower and higher, but these #'s are based on who actually reports their arena results to Arena Knight on the Reddit forum. It's pretty awesome work that he does to consistently gather the info and highly recommend anyone to support him by simply reporting their arena results as often as they can regardless of where they fall (the more data the better to see trends).

Link to where the submission forms and results pop up. Submission form is generally active shortly after either round of the arena finishes and results generated 1 day later.

I do 25-26 mil In featured usually always hit 1-5%. Only once in a blue moon is it higher

Basic I do 12 mil. Same thing as above

One thing to note is that generally the second run has a higher cutoff than the first run. Think this happens for two reasons:
1) It sets a target, so serious grinders are going to go for the target plus a buffer
2) Less serious grinders realize, I'm not going to get there, so they go for lower milestones/brackets

Bear in mind the arena cutoff spreadsheet is a guide as it's based on reports not game data. For example, I got less than the reported cutoff in the spreadsheet, but still hit that bracket. I was under by about 100k.
