Download Stats Have Stopped Working (again)

I noticed at the start of February that the download stats for my package twistml were stagnating. They have not increased since.
I use the vanity package to track the downloads and its developer sent me here, as this has happened before. (Issue #330, Vanity Issue on github)
On 12/02/16 I checked the total downloads for Django to make sure this was not related to my project. According to vanity, django has not had a single download since then.

Interestingly the download counters on the packages' pypi pages keep updating. (The ones showing last day, week and month)

Exactly the same observation for the package dd. I manually fetched the information following vanity's code:

#!python
from urllib2 import urlopen
import json

s = 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dd/json'
response = urlopen(s)
data = str(response.read())
d = json.loads(data)
print(d)

In a browser, PyPI shows the current downloads, but it gives 0 downloads in its JSON data. Note that the above code does not use vanity. If this approach for fetching data is correct, then this is a PyPI issue. Otherwise, please let me know what is the correct way to obtain these statistics.

@madmat3001 the link to Issue 330 actually links here, to 396.

Same result using pypi-cli: it reports correctly last day, week, month (as shown when browsing PyPI), but download statistics over time have 0 for the latest package version.

Downloads stats are broken again. I was surprised to see 0 downloads in my package https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyldpc, but I realized this includes very popular packages (numpy, scipy .. ) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy/1.10.4 (0 downloads in the last day ..)

A pretty major issue for me // still 0 downloads for all packages

@madmat3001 Since it's now not only the API link but the whole thing (e.g. no way to get non-zero download counts at all) - can you change the priority of the issue to major?

Appears to be working now.

Not for me: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/json version 1.9.4 shows 0 downloads (and was released two days ago)

JSON API appears to be still broken but the web UI seems fixed

The download counter for my project "thLib" are no longer working: I know that there have been downloads, but they are not indicated any longer. Maybe related to Issue # 397

Seems to be not working again: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/1.9.5

Not working here either:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/savReaderWriter/3.4.2. This used to be an externally hosted package (until pep 470 became effective). In my setup.py, setuptools.setup still has a downloads= parameter in it. Is that a problem?

Seems to be bugged again. My packages are showing 0.

Any ideas? It's still broken.
