💡 Possible Solution

Hi. This is a bit of a confusing feature of github - there are two different things reported in the same place on PRs: checks and statuses. See the docs at https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-status-checks#types-of-status-checks-on-github for more info about this

In this case, the number on this badge is based on calling
https://api.github.com/repos/ballerina-platform/module-ballerinax-choreo/commits/7591240de7e9bce2abd24e98a1b191a93a6f1c04/status
which reports one status so it is doing what it is supposed to, but that isn't what you wanted.

There is also an open feature request at #4364 to add a corresponding badge for checks, but we don't currently have a badge for it.

@chris48s Thank you for the clarification, yes we need the checks badge. Will close this issue and follow the feature request.
