@Cameron Tomlin, thank you. That is super helpful. I've been working with Genesys full-time for over five years and I've run into the issue with metrics and interval spanning before, but I hadn't seen it with the Offer & Answer metrics not matching up, specifically.
For some reason, way back when, I had associated the definition of Offer with the interaction actually being "offered/delivered" to an agent to work, and not with it just going into the queue at all.
Kudos on being a part of today's "The More You Know" moment. Cheers.

Hello Patrick,
This could be for a number of reasons. But generally, Genesys Cloud tracks metric statistics in 30-minute intervals. An interaction could span multiple intervals. If an interaction enters a queue in one interval but is not answered or abandoned until the next interval, then Genesys Cloud counts the interaction as Offered in one interval and as Answered or Abandoned in the next interval.
If you need a deeper dive into why this is happening I would work with your admin to get a Case opened with our Reporting/Analytics Team as they will be able to dig in more into your environment, at least more so than we can do in a public forum.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
