Thanks for the report however that's just how that works. It even says it in the tooltip.

Uh, why is that supposed to be how that works? Isn't a feature that provides no benefit but only trouble supposed to be considered as a bug?
That's the only way it could be reasonably implemented. We could delete the feature completely if that sounded better. To me, it doesn't.

Burner miners that run out of coal stop working. That is a feature that provides no benefit but only trouble, yet it's not a bug.
If you need an in-universe reason, how about the sensors that reads items are only at the entrance and exit to the belts and not at the side. Therefore this phenomenon is an aspect of the belts, not a bug in the game.

The benefit of that is to create a meaningful problem which also makes perfectly sense for player to solve.
You can invent an in-universe reason for every "feature" of the game.

Correct, and now that you can't side-load your counter you have a new problem to solve.

And when the developers tell you that's the way it is, you can either continue to argue at air or come up with one. I personally thought mine was quite reasonable but if you need, come up with your own.
