Incorrectly counts the number of games and cards left to farm

It incorrectly counts the number of games and cards left to farm. 😬

At the moment it says 6 games left and 18 cards to farm. But there are more games & cards for sure!!
It started farming cards for Little Nightmares where it says 4 cards remaining at the very beginning, but there are 11 cards! (out of 12 in total)

It says so about many games, let's say there are a game with 10 cards in total, it will say that there are only 4 cards left to farm and then it just skips this game pretend as all cards were farmed. 😭😭😭

(FarmPriorityQueueOnly is turned off;
SkipRefundableGames is turned off (turning it on & off doesn't make a difference ) )

ASF counts number of remaining games to farm and remaining cards correctly. Please, read the very first entry in our FAQ, and follow the links mentioned there too, like official steam FAQ about trading cards.

Thanks for the reply!

Could I double check the article says the following:
You can't farm the game infinitely, every game has fixed number of card drops. Once you drop all of them 👉 (around a half of the full set)👈, the game is not a candidate for farming anymore. It doesn't matter whether you've sold, traded, crafted or forgot what happened to those cards you've obtained, once you run out of card drops, the game is finished.

Does this mean that using ASF I will be able to drop/get only a part of all the offered cards of a certain game? ❓❓❓

as an example, I bought Portal2 which has 8 trading cards. I got two while playing the game (6 left). ASF does not include this game in the list and will not work on getting new cards !???

ASF does not decide how many cards you will get, Steam does. So, if Steam says there is no more cards to drop - ASF won't farm game. You can check it yourself, just open badge page in steam. For your example, portal 2: https://steamcommunity.com/my/gamecards/620/
That's how it looks for me:

See it says "No card drops remaining"? It means cards won't drop from this game anymore, if I was still eligible - it would say how many cards are left to drop. And next to it there is a link "How do I earn card drops?" - if you'll press it, you'll get detailed information about received and remaining cards. For me it looks like that:

As you can see, I received 4 cards out of 8 - and that's why there is no card to drop anymore.
You can find all games with remaining cards (and not only them) on your badges page: https://steamcommunity.com/my/badges/
If the game is not there - it means it does not have remaining cards,
/but you still can check it's page by direct link, like for portal 2 store page is
https://store.steampowered.com/app/620/Portal_2/
so the badge page is
https://steamcommunity.com/my/gamecards/620/
See how I used game's appID, 620, there?
If steam shows that there are remaining cards to drop on a badge - ASF will farm this game until all cards are dropped. If steam shows that there is nothing left - ASF will ignore that game. Simple as this.
