See the thread in discord's dev support server. Else, read below:

I noticed that my bot has a strange discrepancy in stated values of how many servers have installed the app. The dev portal states around 170 servers:

However, viewing my app in the public app directory displays a value that is consistently 40-50 servers higher:

I was advised in the dev support server thread to see what the GET /applications/{application-id} endpoint returns for the app, and the answer is the dev portal value of around 170 servers. At that point I was advised to open an issue here - I am uncertain how the app directory site is deriving 215 servers or so.

For reference, my applications ID is 777314683333771285.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Retrieve application ID 777314683333771285 via discord's API. Note the approximate installed server count in the response.
  2. View the same app in the app directory site. Note the significant difference in value for the number of servers that have installed the bot.

Expected Behavior

The values eventually display close to the same value

Current Behavior

The values continue to disagree. I know caching or something may be in effect, but interestingly the app directory value is much higher, and the dev portal value, which is stated to update daily, remains much lower.
