How is the number of downloads computed in Google Play store?

Question

Is the number of downloads shown in Google Play Store computed based on lifetime numbers ? My app (Match4app) shows 5.10 K "Installs by User" on Google Play Console (lifetime). However, on Google Play Store it only shows 1000+:

I know this is not real time, however I had more than 5K downloads since April 2019.

According to some documentation, it is supposed to show "5000+":

1+ (1 - 5)

5+ (6 - 10)

10+ (11 - 50)

50+ (51 - 100)

100+ (101 - 500)

500+ (501 - 1000)

1000+ (1001 - 5000)

5000+ (5001 - 10000)

10000+ (10001 - 50000)

etc...

Answer 2

"5000+ downloads" is finally shown for Match4App in Google Play! I had to wait for more than one month though. This is more likely a sync issue between the Google Play Console and the Playstore, because now I have 10000+ in the Console :)

Answer 3

Installed by User isn't the same as Download-Count. I think that the download counter only counts unique downloads. The download count bracket you have is right.
