My Question or Issue

The last weeks I use almost everyday, all day, the Spotify For Artists app both on my mobile and web browser.
I noticed that almost every day, the counter sucks 30-80 streamings.
BUT today was really awkward as I open the app and in the front, showing my latest single in "live" mode, the counter was 19.543 streams (img 1)
I hit the track to view more statistics and the counters shows 19.048 streams (img 2)!
That's 500 streams down!
I open the mac's browser and it shows 19.585 

After few minutes goes to 19.048! 
MORE than 500 streams down!

Since I have never paid for bots (or whatever you call that) and I put all my efforts to drive my audience to Spotify, could someone explain to me this behaviour?

If I wasn't online, I couldn't notice it and this makes it super suspicious.
If Spotify takes 500 streams from me, how many does it take from artists with million streams?

Is this a Spotify's cut for it's share or something? Won't make sense. 

Thanks.

Quick Update.

After my message, the counter went back to "normal", showing 19.692

Phone app is still on 19.048 (even though in the morning was "normal")

Curious to see what will happen.

Hey @CayetanoMusic,

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.

 

Sounds like what you've experienced might depend on the available streaming counts data syncing with each device-specific version of the Spotify for Artists interface.

 

As a heads-up, if you'd like to know more about how your stats and streams are calculated, take a look here in the Spotify for Artists FAQ page.

 

Hope you'll find this useful. We'll be here if there's anything else we can help with!
