Little bug in the "9+" games to play thing

The numbered label next to the main menu's "Play" (at least on desktop) has a little bug:

I had 12 games where it was my move. It displayed as "9+" (not the bug, although I incidentally I would like to say that I would prefer "12"). I made moves in two games, moving from one game to the next via the "next game" arrow rather than by going back to the home page.

After that, I did go back to the home page. I noticed while clicking on the link to get me there that the label had gone down from "9+" to "7", as if I had really had exactly nine games to start with, rather than nine or more. A moment later, I was brought to the home page, and once there it was refreshed from "7" to "9+". Which was correct, since I now had 10, but it should've never gone to 7 (or presumably, to 8 before that) in the first place.

Using x+ means it could be x or more than x

As to not showing the full count, you're on the Beta with the new nav bar. My guess is that decision was based on keeping that a certain size.

Martin, thank you, but I understand that "using x+ means it could be x or more than x". I will try to be more explicit about the bug:

1. Have 12 games to move in. Label shows "9+". Great.

2. Move in one of them. Label shows "8". Not great.

Are you sure you didn't have 9, made moves in two games, and between it saying 7 and going back in that some games has moves made by your opponent in the intervening time?

I don't play Daily anymore so can't easily check, though I know staff have been using the new nav for a few months and many of them do and should likely have seen that if the counts were off.

"Are you sure you didn't have 9..."
Yes, I am sure I didn't have 9. I strongly believe that I had exactly twelve. I am sure I had more than nine. I am furthermore sure that it showed me as having "9+" immediately before I started playing any of them.

"... made moves in two games..."

I guess I am not absolutely sure, but I strongly believe that I made moves in two and only two games.
"... and between it saying 7 and going back in that some games has moves made by your opponent in the intervening time?"
Barring something like "I am literally insane and imagined all this":

I am absolutely sure that the display was "9+" immediately before I started making moves.

I strongly believe that the "real" count immediately before I started making moves was 12.

I strongly believe that I then made moves in exactly two games, no more, no less.

I am absolutely sure that I migrated between the games via the "next game" button, not (for example) by going back to the home page first or by refreshing the page.

I am absolutely sure that after moving in however many games I moved in (which again, I strongly believe to be exactly two), I clicked on the menu button to bring me back to the home page.

I am absolutely sure that while I was about to click it, as I was clicking it, or just after I clicked it, I noticed the display was "7".

I am absolutely sure that very soon after I clicked it, while it was going back to the home page or perhaps just as it had gone back to the home page, it changed from "7" to "9+".

I've seen something similar just recently with regular notifications. I think it is probably a caching related issue

What is the difference between beta and regular
