Interactions Counter
The interactions counter provides a bit of insight into user engagement with a character, or characters. 
This counter, visible next to a character's name, represents the total number of messages sent to that character by users. Subsequently, the counter on a user’s profile, the one under their avatar, is the number of messages received across all characters.
Tumblr media
On the browser site, they are called "Chats". However, on the app, it is referred to as “Interactions”, which is what most people call them.
Understanding the Counter
(Had to stop myself from making a counting joke...)
The counter increments with each message a user sends to the character, including edited messages and deleted messages. 
This means that if you send your character 10 messages, but you edited each message 9 times, the AI would’ve received 100 messages. (1 original message + 9 edits x 10). Each edit is counted as a separate interaction, provided you prompt a reply from the AI between these edits.
If you send a message and edit it 9 times but don’t prompt for a reply by swiping the generated replies between each edit, it won’t count. The edited message needs to be processed before it counts. This is something I have tested. This should also extend to deleted messages, provided they live up to the same requirements, as an edited message is just a new message that replaces a deleted one.
Counter Updates
How: The number displayed will only appear on the user’s profile once it reaches a certain threshold, usually around 300 to 500 interactions.
However, there are instances where characters with fewer chats may still display an updated count after some delay. But in these cases, we’re looking at weeks, if not months.
When: On the user profile, the counter updates daily. The exact time of this update varies depending on your time zone. For instance, in UTC+1, the update typically occurs between 1-4 am. It does look like there is some sort of requirement for the counter to update on the profile, provided you already have reached the minimum amount of interactions received for the number to even show up.
Search
In the search results, it works a bit differently. On the legacy site, old.character.ai, the system updates the counter either usually every few hours, if not every hour. There also isn’t a minimum requirement for the interactions to show.
NOTE: At the time of writing, the search systems on the new site and on the app have been frozen since early May. Use the search system on the legacy site only.
