An issue was found from the Orders API that affected the Finances and Reports API where the order item ID in orders used to get changed every time there was a status update. This means that if the status was changed three times, there would be four order item IDs overall. Now if you calculate your revenue based on the number of order item ids, this will give you 3x of the actual sales.
Tables without order item IDs still have inflated sales numbers as the data for those tables comes from the raw Orders API data.
Depending on the number of rows that are going to be extracted, it can go over the quota for your tier.

All the columns from the tables OrderItemId, quantity, item_status, and itemPrice have been affected.
If you are a seller who is not based in the US region (US, MX, BR, CA), it is unlikely that this issue has impacted you. However, just to be sure we will perform fetch data for all regions.
To check a discrepancy, you can download a business report from your console for Jan 10 and compare it with data for Jan 10 fetched between Jan 11 - Jan 15. If the sales numbers are extremely inflated, then there is a high chance that you have been affected by the issue.
