The number of books progressively getting smaller is consistent with something like this.
Even if I triggered a library wide event (seems like I must have). I thought that after one complete pass through everything should be equal and the number each subsequent time should be zero. But you are right it does seem the most likely reason.

Maybe I wasn't patient enough with the new cloud software.

Thank you for the info. I'll investigate further. Like I stated, anecdotal until you hear otherwise.

Update: Seems as if every metadata.opf file was written fresh Saturday. The actual books (Date Modified) are unaltered.
