Occasionally, I've run across a problem with streaming charts where a bar will have huge volume. The volume is incorrect. Here's an example of COIN, one minute scale, on Feb 3, 2023 at 12:51 PM EST:
It shows over 1.5 million shares traded. If you jump to another symbol and then go back to the symbol that had the incorrect volume, then the correct number of shares is shown (verified through ThinkOrSwim). Here, the cursor shows the bar with the correct volume:
No big deal for me, but I thought the problem should be reported.

Unlikely anything can be done about that. We don't invent the data and can only pass on what is passed to us. What probably happened was that a summary print was transmitted but later filtered from the historic bar when you reloaded the chart.
The best chance you have to use historic data in a timely fashion is to trade with the Streaming Bars option in the Strategy Monitor. Streaming-only charts (as opposed to Streaming Bars) will often generate different bar data due to trade conflation in providers like TDA and IB. It's discussed in the Help topic.
