The April featured star 360 sphere by @Kumaarsantosh, a Level 10 Local Guide from Noida, India. It's taken at th SkyJumper Trampoline Park inside the Spectrum Metro City Mall, Noida, India. In his April update done on May 1, 2024, see here, Santosh explicitly mentions that his 360 sphere views count for April was identical to that in March and that the view count has been updated. This got me thinking so please do read my comment at the end o the 360 spheres leaderboards.

Welcome @snieckarz to the 360 Sphere Leaderboards and it's great to see you participating in all Leaderboard media streams.
When describing the @Kumaarsantosh's featured star 360 Sphere here, I cited that in his April update done on May 1, 2024, Santosh explicitly mentions that his 360 sphere views count for April was identical to that in March and that the view count has been updated. Well on close examination, you can see that excluding @snieckarz who is new to the Leaderbards, other than @efcxp star 360s views increased from 10,997 to 11,107, all participants had the same outcome. Note also that as a consequence of this, the Average Views/Day is down as well. While I know at least one Local Guide just didn't update their April star 360s views, it would appear that the Google views issue has impacted many and I think that @indahnuria may be interested in this comment.
I could check, but did you update your April star 360s views or are you like Santosh, caught up with the persistent Maps media views issue?
Perhaps after all April Leaderboards are posted, I could quickly do a similar check for both Photos and Videos.

Thanks @AdamGT for highlighting here about there is no change in the view count for individual photo in last one month (here the star 360 Sphere is taken into consideration).
Even for other individual photos there is very less movement in view count whereas the Overall View Count Graph is growing. Similar slow movement in terms of view count can be observed in Star Photo as well but atleast some changes are visible.
