Channels missing in stats?
According to my stats here my node has
Capacity: ~0.429 BTC / Public Channels: 12
This is in accordance with what 1ml reports.
According to Amboss though, I have 17 channels and 0.63 BTC capacity.
And Amboss is correct here. Why is there a discrepancy?
The channels missing here are quite old.
Must be a bug somewhere in the way data is gathered.

There is no single lightning network. We all see a slightly different version, but over time it converges to the same usually.
1ML also sees 12 channels: https://1ml.com/node/02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f
Bolt Observer sees 12: https://sparkseer.space/node/02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f
SparkSeer sees 12: https://sparkseer.space/node/02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f
But, Mempool sees 17 channels: https://mempool.space/lightning/node/02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f
And OKLink only sees 6: https://www.oklink.com/btc/node/02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f
I never seen such a big discrepancy and so consistently different between nodes. There must be something special about those 5 missing.

oklink actually sees all 17 connected but only counts 6 towards the capacity. Perhaps a gossip thing? I see that according to oklink a lot of channels have not received updates for months. When I check for updates I also see that some channels haven't updated for a few days, but all have been updated less than a week ago in both directions.
