I wonder if anyone encounter the same issue.
I opened a development store(developer preview is NOT enabled) and developing a private Shopify app.
I was working on GraphQL rate limit handling and I studied the blog from https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/optimize-rate-limit.
I made the simplest test by making 3 async API calls to get customers and wanted to see how the API rate cost changes when API response.
However, it makes no sense when I look at the rate limit data and do the math. Each API calls' "actualQueryCost" is just 3, but one of the response shows the "currentlyAvailable" is 985 instead of 991 (from: 1000 - 3 * 3).
Here is my response(Formatted in JSON and manually swapped some data(due to privacy reason)):
