New addon stats show only ~half of users of old stats page

The addon page as well as the stats page for your addons in the backend show between 30 and 50% less users than the old stats page.

To reproduce the bug just switch to your old stats page and compare the numbers.

I’m still seeing the old stats page - I think, because I cannot see anything new.
How do you switch between the two versions?

When you check your stats page just add /beta at the end. For me this is the new default page:

E.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/YOURADDON/statistics/beta/?last=30

instead of

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/YOURADDON/statistics/?last=30

Doesn’t seem to work for me. Neither of these work
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/xifr/statistics/beta/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/xifr/statistics/beta/?last=30
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xifr/statistics/beta/

Anyway, I vaguely remember some blogpost or news mail telling that you might see lower numbers in the new statistics, because it is counted in a new way or something like that(?)

Good catch. Only found old posts from 2017 and 2018 about that. Thank you. Mystery case solved.
