OSE Advanced Reports - behaving inconsistently
-
Yesterday, there was an error message on the Advanced Reports tab in OSE:
"Oops! It looks like our system is temporarily down. Please check back soon."
That cleared up after a couple of hours. After that, I ran an Advanced Report that I run on occasion, and it only returned 3500 links, whereas it normally returns around 23K. Since then, I've run the same report 9 times in total over the course of about 1 day, and each time the number of links keeps increasing. 3500, 10150, 21550, 25400, 28650, 35450, 37400, 38200, 50375.
I'm wondering what is happening? I want to do some evaluating of my backlinks, however I'd prefer to work on a "complete" list of links and the number of links keeps going up, when generating reports using the same criteria. When can I expect Advanced Reports to be "stable" where it's producing roughly the same number of links?
Also, I opened up a support ticket on this with Moz.com over 24 hours ago, and haven't received any response. I've updated the ticket 2 times now, but no response. Disappointing they are not responding to support tickets.
Thanks.

Hi there!
My name is Erin, and I'm on the Help Team here at Moz. Thanks for writing in to Q&A! I appologize that it took us so long to respond to your initial support email! We always aim to get back to folks as soon as we can, but we've been a little slammed lately. It looks like our amazing Mozzer Alliancer Annette followed up with you on Friday afternoon, and I'll be taking this request over from here. Our engineers are currently looking in to this. I'll follow up with you via email as soon as I have more information.
Cheers!
Erin

OSE not picking up all internal links?
Hi! I've been checking a few pages in OSE. For example: https://www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk/holidays/last-minute This, according to the tool, has only 6 internal links. However, a Screaming Frog crawl picks up 700+, which is about right seeing as there is a link in the footer. What do you think could be behind the discrepancy?

How can I get a Moz crawl report of 404 errors on my site
I have a Moz subscription and I see dead links on my website that link externally. Is there a Moz crawl report which will show me these 404 errors and which pages on my site those 404 links are on?

Does OSE crawl our site often? Or do we have an other problem? (internal links)

A few months ago we added some internal textlinks to all of our productpages. Those are links to the brandpage of that particular product. Some of our brands do have up to 1500 products, so there should be at least 1500 internal links pointing to that brandpage. But OSE still gives me a wrong count. It says there is only 1 internal link pointing to that brandpage.
Is it because OSE never crawled our site again? Or am i missing something here?(maybe too many internal links to one specific brandpage is not okay?) I'll hope you guys can help me out with this one.0 -

Why does it take so long to generate CSV reports from OSE?
My CSV reports are taking so long to generate, that I'm unable to deliver analysis that I need to deliver today. How can it take so long to create a CSV document for a report that took seconds to generate on screen? How can I justify my subscription for a product that doesn't deliver? I do have to justify it. I feel so let down.

Does the inbound links report include links to all pages of the domain being researched?
If I enter 'abc.com' am I only getting results for 'abc.com' or will I get results for the internal pages of 'abc.com' as well (i.e. 'abc.com/page1.html)? There is a bit of a discrepancy between these results and inbound link results in semrush for example. Then again it seems whenever you use different tools to measure the same thing you get wildly varying results. How do you all deal with that?
