 the lack of precision in floats of this length (16 digits) combined with
 the behavior of `round`.

 I think what you're seeing here is actually a bug in PHP, introduced in
 PHP 8.4:

 https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/18266

 A quick fix might be to change `round` to `floor`, because `floor` does
 not have the same weird behavior of `round`.
