That might be the result of a retention threshold being reached,
or a large number of files having gone Inactive some time ago.
When the Expire Inventory completes, you will likely see some
large numbers of files in the stats.
Another possibility would be if someone inadvertently cut
retention periods, but an ACTivate POlicyset would have to
put it into effect, so would be conscious.
