The /users/{id}/timeline route is reporting incorrect totals

Question

It seems that the /users/{id}/timeline route is returning an incorrect total. For example, the following URL is reporting a total of 1607 items:

http://api.stackapps.com/1.1/users/7789/timeline

...and yet there are clearly only 4 events in the user_timelines property. I tried a few other user IDs and they are all returning the number 1607.

Answer 1

This was a fun one.

Turned out there was a bug in cache for counts, that only affected this particular method. It has been fixed.
