Since I don't know the code for whatever script you're using I can't give you any specifics, but there are a number of reasons why this might be happening.
#1. The most apparent one... It's possible that the shortener is shaving views, it can happen?
#2. Your script might be counting sent links rather than completed links?
#3. Your visitor might be using a "bad ip"?
#4. Your visitor might be using an adblocker?
#5. Maybe your visitor is using "incognito mode"?
#6. Maybe this particular shortener has some unconventional rules for counting views?
#7. Maybe the shortener is only counting unique views and you were hoping for it to count multiple views?
As I said, it's hard to give any specifics, but it could be any number of reasons why it's happening.
It's something I'm seeing as well as a faucet owner and I'm sure most, if not all faucet owners are experiencing to some degree.
This is one of the reasons to always include a fudge margin when you run your numbers. If you don't factor it in, you run a great risk of ending up in the red.
