This glitch report is similar to https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=27904/profile-stats-with-double-counted-lab-caches but that discussion did not really get to the heart of the problem.
Most days, my profile total find counts are correctly displayed and are in sync with what Geocaching.com shows. But some days -- perhaps one or two days a week -- the total is incorrect because it shows that I have 20 more "total" caches than I in fact do. It appears that the system -- only on some days -- adds the lab caches to a find count that already includes the lab caches. I have taken screen shots that I could forward if helpful.
So, for example, today my profile page correctly shows 1705 total finds (ignoring the 1 cache logged today that has not yet appeared on the profile):
bejs has logged 1685 different geocaches, plus 20 lab caches, a total of 1705 unique finds Data from 2022-04-18
These are the same numbers that Geocaching.com shows. BUT a few days ago, my profile page incorrectly showed:
bejs has logged 1691 different geocaches, plus 20 lab caches, a total of 1711 unique finds Data from 2022-04-15
And on that day, Geocaching.com correctly reported that in fact I had 1671 finds plus the 20 lab caches, for a total of 1691 finds.
So a few days ago, Project-GC (incorrectly) reported that I had more finds than it (correctly) reports today, but I have NOT deleted any finds in the past few days.
I have observed this behavior for months, and have viewed the incorrect profile stats on a number of different devices. In other words, if I have seen the incorrect numbers on my phone, I have checked on my computer and also found the incorrect (and too high) numbers. As noted, I can send screen shots of the posting from a few days ago.
Thanks for all the work you do on Project-GC! bejs
