Count off adding more beats then set for

[Bransenlane]

I am running pro tools 2019.6 on an iMac 10.13.6 with an apogee duet.

In every session. I set the count off for 2 bars for a total of 8 clicks before recording begins. Sometimes it will add additional clicks before recording which causes issues when tracking obviously. I noticed if the marker is places lets say to beats past the start of the bar it will add 2 extra clicks instead of the 8 I set it to.

What am I doing wrong here? I have count off selected with 2 bars, the metronome and conductor buttons are both activated.
