The Poké Ball Plus is useless now

My two family members don’t play much anymore but they were both level 40 and 1000+ red poke balls. They were sick of seeing the level 41 streak failing to catch 200 Pokémon so I recently setup our 2x Plus to auto catch with the intent of them catching 200 Pokémon in a day. I have 4 spawn points at my house and threw a incense every hour through the day, with an hour where I didn’t tend to the task. I started about 8am and didn’t complete the task until 10pm, after constantly reconnecting the Plus after an hour and re deploying a incense. I wish I had collected stats from before/after. It seems the catch rate is way less then what I remember.
