"Explorer" not showing latest games (from last few months)

Hello,
The "Explore Games" function does not work properly for me. More precisely, it does not show newer games (from the past few months) in the database.

Why is that? I checked older threads in the forum and found people encountering similar problems, back in 2021, as well as in 2015, 2012, and even 2009.

[EDITED FOR CLARITY - ADDING SCREENSHOTS BELOW]

It seems to be working for me. What is the problem?

When you say it isn't updating, did you know that it doesn't include bullet games or blitz games shorter than 5 0?

Or games with less than 4 moves?

I think that posting screenshots will help you understand my problem. I have noticed today another problem in my "Stats" page that may be related to the "Explore Games" feature. My Stats page does not properly compute games from the past 90 days when assessing my "average score".
When looking at stats from my RAPID GAMES (I mostly play rapid, that is where i put more time and effort in the analysis too), this is what I get, under the "Average Accuracy" output:

-0 games analyzed from the past 7 days (when in fact I played 14 games)

-0 games from the past 30 days (when in fact I played 108 games)

-1 game from the past 90 days (when in fact I played 143 games)

-846 games from the past year (when in fact I played 1,275 games)

Adding also a few more screenshots to show the number of games that is analyzed in my Explore Games feature.

As you can see the total number of analyzed games is about 1700 (850 games per color). However, I played around 1950 games, and the number of missing games could correspond to the games played in the last 90 days + the games with less than 8 moves (or whatever the cutoff is)

I just got a bit lucky today: as I was posting the previous messages, I went back to the Explorer, and noticed that the number had changed. More precisely, i had 4 more games as white, and 1 more game as black. Please see screenshot below and compare it with the one above.
Interestingly, the game as black was a c4 games, a not so common opening at my level. By looking at percentages, I understood that it was a game that white had won (and I, therefore, had lost).
I went back to look for the most recent English opening rapid games where I played as black and lost. After 2 games that were not yet in the database (from March and February), I found one that was played on November 16, 2022: https://www.chess.com/game/live/62369438985

That seems to be the last game that was added, exactly today, to my Game Explorer database, and it's a game from mid November, almost 5 months ago.
Is this proof that my Games Explorer is not updating correctly?
