The jump is from ukey->stats.n_packets to stats->n_packets, not the other way around. Sorry I missed that before. Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

The only way that stats->{n_packets,n_bytes} would decrease is due to an overflow, or if there are bugs in how statistics are handled. In the past, there were multiple issues that caused a jump backward. A workaround was in place to set the statistics to 0 in that case. When this happened while the revalidator was under heavy load, the workaround had an unintended side effect where should_revalidate returned false causing the flow to be removed because the metric it calculated was based on a bogus value. Since many of those bugs have now been identified and resolved, there is no need to set the statistics to 0. In addition, the (unlikely) overflow still needs to be handled appropriately. If an unexpected jump does happen, just log it as a warning.
