We are finding serious inconsistency in meeting attendee duration information from zoom.

Within the reporting dashboard we are finding attendees with 0 duration recorded in the participants report while the correct duration is given in the attendee log report.

We first started investigating the issue because our API calls to to the past meeting endpoint are returning 0 attendance duration for participants that have \> 0 attendance (confirmed in the attendee log).

We are using this endpoint and passing the encoded meeting uuid  
/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/reportMeetingParticipants

What should we look at to resolve the lack of information provided by the API?
