The program has a retest pin 12345670 every x cycles feature. When the program retests it includes a --session= in the reaver command line so the brute force count is not upset. The program will test the pin for 120 seconds and then return to the brute force count on the next cycle.
Try turning off the retest feature in the configuration file during program setup. Change the y to n. However in the end it is best to use this feature. Read the help files for reasons which include getting a complete pixie dust data sequence.
The only other way the count can be upset to our knowledge is if you jump between using --dh-small and not using.
To test turn off the restest pin feature and the brute force count should return to the previous brute force setting. If you still have problems please advise.
