    Could be a reason, why don't you compare a normal V1 /posts/count call with this V2 instead of metrics call and see how it works.

DylanGeorgeFiel - ok, here is what document says:

 

overall_posts: The overall number of posts, across all types of discussions (forums, blogs,etc.)
net_overall_posts: The overall number of posts minus deleted posts, across all types ofdiscussions (forums, blogs, etc.)

That explains the increase in numbers from net_overall_posts and overall_posts is the deletions.

 

It doesn't explain why the LiQL statement "SELECT count(*) FROM messages" differs by 10 or so posts from net_overall_posts.

 

I noticed that the query originates from 'metrics', does this have something to do with it? Is the difference from hidden posts or something?
