 Hey @phunsanit / @maulikmakwana2008

 This inconsistency isn’t limited to **scheduled** posts; it can also occur
 with **draft**, **pending**, **private** or any other custom post
 statuses.

 Also, WordPress has provided a filter `update_post_term_count_statuses`,
 by using it we can decide which statuses we can allow to update the term
 count.

 Code reference: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/trunk/src/wp-includes/taxonomy.php#L4182

 We can hook a callback into this filter within a theme or plugin to return
 all registered statuses—or just the specific ones needed. Let me know if
 you think this approach would work for your use case.
