Since Jul 29, 2023, Chrome Web Store has been reporting incorrect rating count for some items intermittently. For example, my extension, ModResponse, is supposed to have 6 rating count, but it is now showing 12 (and if I view it in mobile it is still showing 6 rating count). If you look again some time later, it may show 6 again. I see the same issues with some other extensions as well, where the rating count is incorrectly inflated (almost double in some cases), and then correct itself sometimes later.

I started noticing this in Jul 29. Unfortunately the issue is intermittent. Please route this issue to the correct team if possible.

Thank you for the Report, Hao!
I am reaching out to the folks in the store team now to make sure they are aware of it.
