Official View Counts Gone Down?

I've Got It
So some new videos I posted yesterday had their official view count go down to almost half what it was. Small youtube so I noticed immediately. Why would that be?

My realtime views are more that double what it says, usually it takes a few hours but it eventually catches up, but not this time.

Has this happened to anyone else before?
 
If you have not bought the views either two things have happened.

Buying views made it go down (cause YouTube just wants your moooonnneeeyyy)

Or it's recalculating and should be fine in a few days.

At least that's what I found out with a little researching.

Did this just happen?
 
Yeah like within the past 30 minutes I saw them go down.

Definitely do not buy views, so when my videos went from 30 to 15 it made me sad :(
 
I've heard that at 301 views YouTube checks to see if the views seem legitimate. If they detect bots, I think they subtract those views, but that doesn't sound like that is what happened. =/ They might just be messing with their code trying to add an update... YouTube has been really glitch-y lately. >.< Usually things like this go back to normal after a day or two (or with the recent glitchy comments, after a month or two.. >.> ), but if it's still off after a few days, I'd contact YouTube and ask! ^_^

Edit: Also, there is a discrepancy between views depending on which device you are using. If I look at my channel using a computer, I see less views than my dashboard, and I see even fewer views if I use my cellphone. : o Could that perhaps be what is happening?

I was on my computer, and left my page and came back and the official count changed, my mom even saw that I had a certain number, then it went down. So I have no idea :( Bummer since my page is so small haha
