What is the difference between ViewCountLifeTime and ViewsLifeTime managed properties ?
-
ViewsLifeTime is from sharepoint, where ViewCountLifeTime I think is coming from Graph API. That's my guess– MikeCommented Oct 27, 2017 at 13:43

These properties are maintained by SharePoint Analytics and can be used via CSOM or Search Queries.
ViewCountLifeTime - This is a special managed property that is not associated with any crawled property. This property shows how many time a document has been viewed on the office web apps.
ViewsLifeTime - This property data is updated every 15 days and give you the view count for content (Ex: Page/Site etc)

PDF documents cannot be viewed on office web apps but still it has ViewCountLifeTime property with some value assigned. Also, ViewCountLifeTime always has value equal or greater than ViewLifeTime. I am not able to clearly distinguish between both of the managed property.– SameerCommented Oct 27, 2017 at 14:49
