How We Count Downloads in the Public Terraform Registry

The HashiCorp Terraform Registry has updated its display of download count metrics in both public and private registries to provide more detailed information about usage. Previously, a single "total provisions" count was shown alongside other metadata about a module or provider on the landing page. Now, four numbers are displayed: Downloads this week, Downloads this month, Downloads this year, and Downloads all time. This change allows users to assess a module or provider more accurately and provides admins and owners with additional information for analysis. The evolution of how download counts are measured has also been discussed, highlighting the improvements made in processing, storage, and presentation of these metrics.
