Hello,

I recently upgraded from Proxmox 5 to 6, and noticed that the "Network traffic" section is not logging as accurately as before. I monitored the usage for an hour using vnstat, then took screenshots of the average and maximum graphs for that hour from the GUI. As you can see, the stats don't match at all. They were however a lot closer in Proxmox 5. What could cause this inaccurate reading?

Code:
[root@evo ~]# pveversion 
pve-manager/6.0-11/2140ef37 (running kernel: 5.0.21-4-pve)
[root@evo ~]# 
[root@evo ~]# date;vnstat -l;date
