Elkies One heuristic model for the distribution of $L(1,\chi_d)$ is a product of Euler factors $(1 - \chi(p)/p)^{-1}$ where each $\chi(p)$ is chosen independently from $\{-1,0,+1\}$ with appropriate probabilities. The $p=2$ factor has the largest effect, and can be $2$, $1$, or $2/3$. Requiring $2|d$ makes that factor $1$, which we can expect to roughly halve the maximal $L(1,\chi_d)$.
