In 2014 we      felt that this was acceptable (we don't have an formal statement      on this iirc), and I would go out on a limb and say that it would      still be considered a reasonable guideline.>

This is at best outdated.

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v9.html?title=true&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibWFwYm94IiwiYSI6ImNpejY4M29iazA2Z2gycXA4N2pmbDZmangifQ.-g_vE53SD2WrJ6tFX7QHmA#1.07/-1.4/4.7 <https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v9.html?title=true&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibWFwYm94IiwiYSI6ImNpejY4M29iazA2Z2gycXA4N2pmbDZmangifQ.-g_vE53SD2WrJ6tFX7QHmA#1.07/-1.4/4.7>

(example from Mapbox itself) on my phone (Xiaomi Redmi 4) is as follows

(a) proper attribution of OpenStreetMap is missing 
(b) only Mapbox is properly credited
(c) license of data is not properly stated.
(d) there is enough space to credit source of data

I attempted to report it to Mapbox, they initially answered but stopped communicating after 
I asked

So in opinion of Mapbox "click to view" attribution hiding is enough to
cover "reasonably calculated to make any Person (...)"?
