Hello, we have a client for whom we get some strange data from the API which we cannot explain. We fetch metrics from the product_group_view and there (among other things that seem OK to us) we get for at least 1 criterion some clicks and impressions but that criterion in question (UNIT listing group criterion) is a negative one.
How can a negative criterion have statistics assigned to it?
