When trying to get data through the gtrends function the output I get is different from what I would get when I'd do the same search on the Google trends website. For example, when running

gtrends((c("AAPL","ABBV")),time = "2020-01-14 2020-08-31", onlyInterest = TRUE)

I get the same results for the keyword "AAPL" for the hits-variable in R and on Google trends, but for "ABBV" I get different results. The data I get for the gtrends function shows me that hits are mostly <1 but when looking on google trends for the same keyword, hits should mostly be 1 or higher.

Any idea what went wrong here? Thanks

Edit1: When running gtrends for ABBV alone I seem to get the correct output.
Edit2: Seems I get this problem only when looking for multiple keywords, the first keyword in the query shows the same output as the Google trends website, but not for the following keywords.
