Help Understanding Revenue After Copyright Claim Got Removed.

Hello,

I am having some issues with monetization I was hoping someone here could shed some light on.

I released a video on April 29th that got flagged for copyright for a song even though I have a sub to epidemic sound and am allowed to use said song. This doesn't happen often but when it does it gets resolved pretty quick

Anyway, I disputed the claim and it was resolved/removed on May 3.

However, despite the video currently sitting at 22.5k views and 620 watch hours it has only earned $1.71.

I contacted YT support and they just kept repeating these reasons:

• Advertising revenue is based on a number of different factors and may not be directly related to video views.

• Not all views are equal in terms of revenue.

• The revenue earned from April 29 until the time you disputed it will go to the claimant.

I mentioned that their own FAQ says that copyright claims are put in escrow but they ignored that.

They ignored the fact that the issue was resolved and the claimant released claim.

But let's pretend I don't get any revenue from April 29 through May 1 - the video analytics show that between those dates the video got ~7k views and 200 watch hours - which means since the claim was removed and the issue resolved the video has gotten a further 15k views and 400 watch hours.

It's a 9 min video, 22.k views, 620hr watch time, with an AVD of 3min 30 - it just seems bizarre and like YT are gaslighting me that this video would only earn $1.71 with those stats.

I know these are small potatoes - but I'm just wracking my brain over why and all I can think of is - that dumb ass epidemic copyright claim screwed things up and even though I have rights to the music and the claim was resolved something wonky is happening still.
