## Cause

The issue occurs when using session logs and automatic refresh. Session logs, unlike connection logs, are being created once a session started and will be updated on a later time once the session is closed.

The console shows the first log creation but the automatic refresh shows the latest update which is causing the mismatch.  
Looking at the session duration will show that the log was created long ago but that it was just updated.
