Phenomenon we are facing
The report count looks incorrect and we could see this error as below.

And this is my query

(host=wscreenapi3* OR host=tracking-api-release) name="RegisteredUserLog" earliest=-60d@d latest=-30d@d id!=3000000010 | fields event_id platform | fields - _raw | stats count by event_id platform | dedup event_id | rename event_id as easy_id | table easy_id platform | join type=left easy_id

Hi

You should replace that sub search e.g. looking all those events in the same time. Then check if that event belongs to your current subsearch's timeframe and add this retentionFlg=1 otherwise set it retentionFlg=0. 

By that way it should works and actually it should works even faster with less resources.

Also try to avoid command table, use instead fields if possible as fields can run on indexer side instead of table which always run on SH level.
