Apparently, your number of vassals is updated immediately on some events, and at regular intervals (as a sanity check I guess). For example, vassalizing someone updates it immediately, as does creating a new vassal. Unfortunately, they missed pretty much all the events where you grant them to someone else (either direct transfer, or granting a higher-tier title to someone).

The only way to update after reducing your vassal count is 1) wait, or 2) create/vassalize a new vassal (for example, lower to 59, then vassalize a 60th). The latter isn't always doable of course.

Great workaround, works.

From 63 vassals...

Instantly down to 27 with the vassalisation
