I have a suspicion some locations (in Pacific region) do not cut Slack access immediately in the same way it was done for the NA prior. May be HR figured out that cutting immediately makes it too easy to track and they don't want this kind of panic and bad press.
got cryptic invite from my manager together with my dev and QA colleagues from NA region for tomorrow. so may be this was my last post with totals. will keep you posted.
Looks like I survived for now, unfortunately most of my team mates didn't... Everything is hush hush. Unlike NA, where access is cut immediately and layoff is with no notice, it looks locations in Pacific regions got a separate process like couple of weeks going back and forward (depends on the country) and people not just kept on payroll, but have full access, including Slack.
So #general stats will catch up for Pacific with couple of weeks delay. I will continue daily Slack totals updates.
Currently 168623

You are right. Slack can't show the correct information at least for many AP regions.
Thank you for your efforts tracking this. Best of luck!
