I've been using the Bar Volume ID8(Numbers Bars Calculated Values) to determine the volume associated with a Point & Figure (1-12) bar chart. Depending on the market activity, a given bar volume can easily exceed 20K contracts. Earlier today (12/8/21), a bar had 15K contracts, this evening that same bar displayed less than 500 contracts; and all of the chart bars have substantially reduced volumes (none exceeding 1K). The Value Format is set to Large Integer with Suffix, as before. I updated the SC version, but the result is the same. I made no changes to the study in question or to the chart, I am using tick data and also performed the Edit> Delete All Data and Download.

Did the contract rollover automatically?

As questioned above, if the contract rolled over, then that could definitely be the reason for the difference. If that does not appear to be your issue, then we need to see a screenshot of your chart. You can get us a screenshot by following these instructions:
