Media Playcount Inaccuracy

[kjhedges 67]

I am currently in the process of creating myself a js script for discord notifications. I created a Trending channel and it gathers info and posts to relevant channel.
my issue is that Monk appears to show 19604 plays from 1 user.  This is not correct i know for sure.
Is this a common issue, which would then render my script for trending pointless.

Are the play counts grabbing multiple sequential media requests, so it counts a play for every 7 second media download?
