YouTube API showing 102 queries being made per request

So this is sort of weird. For every 1 request sent from my website using our YouTube API key, the developer console shows 102 queries actually being made. Here is the query format (using Python) - 

search_q = '<query-string-here>'
service = build('youtube', 'v3', developerKey='<api-key>')
results = service.search().list(
     part='snippet', 
     channelId='<specific-channel-id-to-search-through>',
     type='video',
     q=search_q,
 ).execute()

My logs show only one request being sent using this but my query count on the quotas page increases by 102.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is this a bug on Google's end?

You can use the Quota Calculator to approximate the quota costs your request is using. Sure enough the search API request quota is on 100 range:
