Looks to be related to how many updates from FiveM you’ve installed.

citizenfx/fivem/blob/0fc6406b3f3c18243761d0d4dfa0fdfd4d0aeed6/code/client/launcher/GameCache.cpp#L788-L798


      
          static void BumpDownloadCount(const std::shared_ptr<baseDownload>& download, const std::string& key)

          {

          	DWORD count = 0;

          	DWORD countLen = sizeof(count);

          	RegGetValueW(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\CitizenFX\\DownloadCount", ToWide(key).c_str(), RRF_RT_REG_DWORD, NULL, &count, &countLen);

          

          	++count;

          	download->count = count;

          

          	RegSetKeyValueW(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\CitizenFX\\DownloadCount", ToWide(key).c_str(), REG_DWORD, &count, sizeof(count));

          }
