Youtube API - Difference between number of videos from channel statistics and number of videos uploaded

I am trying youtube API to get the number of videos using the call

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=[id]&key=[key]

However, there is a mismatch in the number of uploaded videos. There are 178 videos uploaded in the channel and the channel statistics API is showing 177.

Why is the difference of 1 count?

UPDATE

After 3 days, I got the correct count from channel statistics API.

Still, the question is "Is there a chance to get the difference?"

If that is the case, I would prefer to use the number of videos uploaded instead of the channel statistics.

Watch time report shows the following data collected from youtube.com, the video watch page, mobile Youtube apps (some data is only available from youtube.com).

Note: Analytics views data is based in Pacific Standard Time, updated once a day, and has a delay of up to 72 hours. The numbers you see in Analytics reports might be different from the numbers you see on the video page, channel page, Video Manager, or other sources.

Then I suggest that you use the number of videos uploaded.
