cranlogs::cran_downloads() double counting 2023-09-19 through 2023-10-01

[lindbrook]

It seems that for the period between 2023-09-19 through 2023-10-01 cranlogs::cran_downloads() reports twice the number of package downloads than do the Posit/RStudio logs. Is it possible to recompute/fix these data?

dates <- seq.Date(as.Date("2023-09-15"), as.Date("2023-10-03"), by = "days")

Total Download Counts based on Posit/RStudio Logs:
logs <- lapply(dates, packageRank::fetchCranLog)
posit <- vapply(logs, nrow, integer(1L))

Total Download Counts based on cranlogs::cran_downloads():
rhub <- cranlogs::cran_downloads(from = min(dates), to = max(dates))

Audit:
audit <- data.frame(date = rhub$date, log.ct = posit, cranlogs.ct = rhub$count)
audit$ratio <- audit$cranlogs.ct / audit$log.ct

> audit
date log.ct cranlogs.ct ratio
