I tracked the count of course filter universe symbols where HasFundamentalData = true. For the most part it steadily increases over time as expected, except in August 5/6, 2020 it drops suddenly from 4,839 symbols to 3,698 then up to 4,796 on August 12/13

Hi Levi.
I'm working on another project where someone referenced your post here. You probably know this, but I wanted to make sure. To make the stocks going in and out of the universe filters smoother you can set the minimum time in universe property. Add a line like this:
self.UniverseSettings.MinimumTimeInUniverse = 63
This is the minimum amount of time that a stock stays in the universe until it can be removed (from your filter's logic). Note, this doesn't fix the data issue, but having this added should not remove those stocks that for some reason drop out.
Here's a link to the lean docs for this:

I hope you're doing great!
Best,
Aaron

Thanks Aaron. I was not aware of this property. I used some brute force logic to ignore the discrepancy, but the data does not appear to be missing anymore so I'm not sure what was going on.
