Statistics views today count is wrong

Drupal 9 is unsupported. Statistics is deprecated in Drupal 10 and removed in Drupal 11. I am moving this to the contributed module, where bugs could be fixed.

This can happen if there is no view on a given node on a given day: the view count will remain unchanged. The "views today" value is actually "views on the day of the last view".

On content with enough traffic this ends up being the same because all content is seen at least once a day. To get a more accurate result you will need to add a filter ensuring that the day of the last timestamp is the same as the current day, and return 0 otherwise.

Can you check viewing the node you are interested in and then verifying that the daily count was indeed reset ?

The daily and total count for me are always the same, so the daily count doesn't reset.

As I mentioned, if you do not actually view a node during a given day, the daily counter does not reset. It is actually the count of views on the last day there actually was a view.

Does it not reset if you actually view the node another day ? If so, can you provide a means to reproduce the issue, because this is not what I observe on my own sites.

I'm going to close this one. I figured out what's going on.

There's a cronjob that resets the daily stats, my app runs in AWS Fargate and its cronjob triggering process apparently broke.

Excellent: thanks for taking the time to let me know.
