Why does the Activity Log show a higher count of PRs Reviewed than the number of unique pull requests reviewed?

The PRs Reviewed metric in the Activity Log may sometimes display a higher count than anticipated due to how activity is logged:

The Activity Log captures all instances of activity, including multiple reviews of the same pull request and each general PR comment (opens in a new tab) left on a pull request. So, if a user reviews the same pull request multiple times or adds several general PR comments, each instance is recorded as a separate activity.

This approach ensures that all user actions are captured comprehensively in the Activity Log, providing a detailed timeline of their engagement with pull requests over time.

Why are some PR comments counted as separate reviews?

GitHub offers two ways to comment on pull requests, each treated differently in the review count:

GitHub Types of Comments

The review count includes each general comment and each review session with inline comments separately. This means that if you make multiple general comments on a pull request, each one is counted individually. Similarly, a review session with inline comments is counted as a single review.

Commit Comments are not included in the Activity Log metrics.

This distinction ensures that all types of feedback are accurately tracked, providing a detailed view of the review process and user interactions within the pull request.
