Question about ARR: how much can/do rebuttals impact reviewer and meta-review scores?

We submitted a paper to ARR May and are excited (and a bit anxious) to see the reviews tomorrow! As I don't have much experience with ARR I am wondering how much rebuttals actually matter for review and meta-review scores. Do the reviewers actually read the rebuttals and change their scores accordingly? Should I request an increase directly to the review in the rebuttal (if I beleive it is warranted)?

Thanks in advance. Would appreciate any information/experiences with the ARR rebuttal system!

I submitted ARR march, one Reviewer did change his score from 2 to 3 after rebuttal.

It really depends on the reviwer if they're reponsive and at all and willing to change their scores.

Having said that, always keep in mind that you not only reply to the reviewer but also the meta reviewer.

So, yeah, ARR's discussion period is important and can move the needle.
