Only events from users who opted in to optional analytics are recorded. Views are deduplicated by account, Skill, and Shanghai calendar day. Downloads are deduplicated by account, Skill, version, and Shanghai calendar day; a count means the client successfully delivered the package, not that it was saved to disk. Installs are recorded only after the client successfully writes the Skill, and are deduplicated per account and Skill for 90 days. Withdrawing consent clears personal deduplication records, so an install after opting in again may count again. “This week” means the last 7 Shanghai calendar days. Favorites show the current total.
