It’s an understandable question. We don’t yet have any reporting for chat on the admin dashboard, which is where you might look first for something like this.

There are some stats available on `/about` though (chat messages in the last 7 days and last 30 days, for example). Those alone would help inform the discussion here (and let others who are or are not experience the same issue as you compare and better understand why).
