Apologies if this has already come up. Have other people noticed that Walden has (sometimes) changed the number of authors in a Work. Here’s an example:

>>> import requests
>>> import json
>>> len(requests.get("https://api.openalex.org/w4223476900").json()['authorships’])
100
>>> len(requests.get("https://api.openalex.org/w4223476900?data-version=1").json()['authorships’])
601

It does look like the previous number was more accurate (albeit kind of insane) https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/599165

If the formatting of the Python code I included got mangled, here it is again:
