As the sibling comment noted, you were within the legal prescribed boundaries. The flag is automatic if something is off. No person (I think/in general/most countries) sits and counts days. The computer does.

In fact if they note they can not track exactly how many days you were in and out of the country that is a separate flag, that would likely in most jurisdiction lead to questioning.
