Inconsistency in DORA API Deployment_Frequency definition (daily average vs total)

Problem

Under the DORA API definition, deployment frequency is defined as the number of deployments over a given time period, but under the CI/CD Analytics tab (and most frequently defined by DORA organization), deployment frequency is the average number of deployments per day over said time period. As shown here:

As is, if I use deployment_frequency metric in the API or in a custom insights.yml, it is inconsistent with what is shown on these other Analytics pages.

It would be more consistent to have deploys or deployments be the aggregate number of deployments to production over the time period, and deployment frequency be the average number of deployments per day over that time period.

What is the expected correct behavior?

deployment_frequency should return frequency not total.
