Hi @MA1985CG,
Frequency and recency are calculated on an occurrence basis... meaning every time AAM gets the signals to realize a trait, that will increase the frequency +1. If there is an implementation issue with Analytics sending two hits per load, the frequency would increase per hit (+2 in this case).
Recency is calculated per day, and checks if the device has received signals for the trait per day. Each day ends/starts at 0:00 UTC, so please keep this in mind when testing recency.
Regards,
Shane
