Views dropped to 0 across two channels right after starting a second one

I run a Shorts channel that normally pulls 20-30K views in the first few hours of posting, daily uploads for months. A couple days ago I started a second channel (same Google account, same browser) and started posting there too. Almost immediately, videos on both channels started getting 0 views in that same early window.

This isn't the first time, a while back I had two completely unrelated channels (different niches, nothing in common) and the exact same thing happened: as soon as the second one became active, both dropped to 0 views.

Has anyone dealt with this specifically — running multiple active channels and seeing early view counts tank across all of them right when a new one ramps up?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who's run 2+ channels on one Google account and seen this, and especially how long it took to resolve (if it did on its own, or if you had to do something specific).

Thanks!
