Crates.io download counter - unexpected changes

Hi everyone,

I have a few crates published on crates.io which get mostly used by myself and thus have only a few daily downloads (0-200 depending on crate and day). These are mostly due to CI/CD workflows that test the packages.

I have noticed a change in the counter after the 30th of October along a few things:

  1. Lower overall downloads despite no change in usage
  2. No downloads of versions other than the most recent one.

You can verify these results for yourself by visiting:

https://crates.io/crates/cellular_raza
https://crates.io/crates/crate2bib
https://crates.io/crates/indexing_fmt
https://crates.io/crates/spatial-decomposition
https://crates.io/crates/vtk-rs

The image shows a selection of the above list.
