Wrong calculation of cache count

Question

Obviously the counting of the caches shown at project gc is calculated wrong. On Geocaching.com I'd 7030 Caches overall (including 444 Lab Caches). Today I found 7 further Tradis, so the current count is 7037.

On project-gc the lab caches are obviously counted twice, because - with a timestamp of 30.01.2022 there is an total amount of 7474 shown ...

Where are you seeing this number? Because if I look at your Profile Stats you have: "Wild Utzel has logged 6588 different geocaches, plus 444 lab caches, a total of 7032 unique finds", which seems to indicate that your stats updated with 2 of your 7 finds from yesterday. I'm not seeing 7474 anywhere so I don't know where you got that number?

I still can see it on https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats. Sadly I can't add a screenshot ...

Ah, when I change the language to US, then it is correct, but changing back to german it shows:

Wild Utzel hat 7030 verschiedene Caches geloggt,
plus 444 Labcaches, insgesamt 7474 verschiedene Funde

Interesting. I tested with a couple of different languages (including German) and I'm not seeing it. Your profile shows the totalt of 7032 for all languages I've tested. I would test with a hard refresh (ctrl + F5 on windows) to begin with. Since you're seeing it and I'm not it's likely to be a local issue.

I had a look today
It says

Wild Utzel has logged 6593 different geocaches,
plus 444 lab caches, a total of 7037 unique finds
Data from 2022-01-30

In German it said

Wild Utzel hat 6593 verschiedene Caches geloggt,
plus 444 Labcaches, insgesamt 7037 verschiedene Funde
Daten vom 2022-01-30

Yes after collecting the newest data the numbers are shown correctly
