Description

Hi, for some reason my shields.io badge does not display the correct coverage percentage (see issue on GitHub: Wrong percentage for codecov · Issue #8545 · badges/shields · GitHub)

chris48s reported that there is a difference of percentage between these two badge URLs (badges from codecov, not shields.io):

Any reason why this happens?
