It's far more likely that your watch time is getting audited by YouTube. YouTube periodically audits views and watch time. if you use YouTube stats website, you'll see that youtubers will sometimes have their videos lose thousands even hundreds of thousands of views even though they've never deleted a video and that's because there channel is being audited.

It sucks but those 200 hours likely shouldn't have counted in the first place
