Intraday chart - trades per bar are closing before reaching limit count

I have a CL futures chart set to 30 trades per bar via the Chart Settings Bar Period Type: Number of Trades Per Bar.

However, during low volume sessions, bars are closing before number of trades reaches 30.

I have looked through any documentation regarding trades per bar, but I can't see what I'm missing. I am using IB data and I'm suspecting I'm not getting the whole market action, but I'm not sure if that is the issue or not.
