https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride#Greenhouse... :

"the collective contribution of [SF6] and similar man-made halogenated gases has reached about 10 percent as of year 2020". But reading more closely, it seems the SF6 by itself is much less. The rest, I guess, must be CFCs and HFCs.

If you follow the citation, you get to this graph:

Those 10% are almost all CFC, then the next largest component is HCFCs and then HFCs, where SF6 is included. On the graph subtitle it's explained that SF6 is about 13% of the HFCs component.

Anyway, that's a large change from the last data I've found.
