My post count shows (above) as 10,217 (as of the time of this post).
When I visit my profile page, it also lists my "Posts" count as "10,217".
But my "Comments" tally shows 9.9K.
I have been awarded a "5,000 Comments" badge, but not a "10,000 Comments" badge.
I assume I will get that badge when my "Comments" tally reaches 10.0K ?
I do not know why there is a discrepancy.
It seems that there is 218 to 317 posts that I have made that I did not get badge credit for.
Items like “Comments” and “Points” that show as 9.9k and not exact count do not change immediately when you get to the next tenth. I don’t know what triggers that update. Be patient it will update eventually.

The post count above includes all of your comments and the posts/threads you have started combined. For the purpose of that badge, starting a post is not a comment.

I guess I'm going to have to keep better track of my post count for my 10,000th post giveaway...

One thing I noticed is the "analytics" button of a Forum member when I click on an avatar. So, if I need to know post count, or date joined, or last active, etc... it's one click away...

The posts you start count as posts but are separate from the comments in your profile. In your case, you have 322 posts in addition to the comments.

Comments doesn't include the number of threads you start.
Under analytics, my total "post" count is listed at 10,731. In the far right pane (on a laptop) under my icon, that count is further broken down into "comments" (posts I've made in other threads) which is listed as 10.6k and above it is another but different "post" count (representing threads I've started) as 131. 10.6k comments + 131 posts (threads started) = 10,731 posts (total posts). The use of post to mean two different things is confusing.
For you, your total "post" count is 10,217 further broken down into 322 "posts" (started threads) and 9.9k comments. 9.9k+322 =10,222. The discrepancy between 10, 217 and 10,222 is explained by round off error. They round to nearest 100. 8,950 to 9,949 = 9.9k (treated as even 9,900) and 9950 to 10,049= 10k (treated as an even 10,000).

Its been slow. Hopefully it'll catch up (?)

There's a workaround for that.

It appears to have happened shortly after I acquired 10,000 posts.
That was the reason
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

That makes sense now 🤔
