This read-only Counter64 counts queries discarded specifically because they arrived before the minimum allowed interval since the previous query. This typically flags a misconfigured or rogue second querier flooding queries faster than the IGMP query interval allows — a cause the general QueryDiscards counter on this instance would not distinguish; because it is drawn from the current, still-open 24-hour bin for today, the number keeps climbing until midnight rollover, so it should be read as "so far today" rather than a finished daily total. On a metro aggregation uplink carrying several video EVCs, a count of 2,267 over today so far is the kind of number an admin would trend against the join/leave rate on the same port to judge whether it's normal channel-surfing or an anomaly worth a closer look.
