IPad – Number showing on photos in iPad days view for photos

ipadphotos

iOS 13.4.1 on iPad photo app, days view. There are some photo that have a number on them, I.e., +3, +12, etc… What do these numbers mean? I can’t find an explanation anywhere. I was thing that maybe it might be additional number of photos taken the same day or place but I can’t figure it out. If I click on a photo with a number and count additional photos on same day it doesn’t add up. Attached is 1 ex of 1 picture with a number that I’m talking about. Tks

so after contacting apple, they said the number showing is the number of additional photos for that time period. However, in my case its not - the number of total photos do not match up when I count all photos for a selected time period. Additionally, I sync the same photos to each device - iPad and iPhone - yet my iPad is taking up twice the amount of space when compared to the same photos on my phone. Also, I continue to have some photos that don't sync when they are suppose to and duplicates of others. What a messed up ecosystem!
