I'm using the YouTubeAPI PlaylistItems: list to retrieve the most recent videos I've uploaded. Up until a week or so ago the playlistitems.item.snippet.publishedAt value returned the date the video was published. Now it appears this value is returning the date the video was uploaded. A video that was published yesterday shows it was published 8+ days ago when it was originally uploaded. This video (along with the others affected) were all uploaded on the same date, always set to private never unlisted and scheduled to be released on a specific date/time.
This is the response I'm getting from https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=UUhi5MyXJLQuPni3dM19Ar3g&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]

Earlier today when I testing this using Visual Studio and the website I was getting differing values. (see attached images)
