Description
I'm trying to get a counter of unread messages per room for specific user. The route of users.info with the extra rooms field seems to give the wanted info but when showing channels (as part of the rooms array) the unread counter doesn't seem to show the correct number. Is there a way to make it work? or maybe is this a permission problem? I'm trying to get the info about the logged user rooms.
In addition, I tried to get the info i need from the channels.counters route but the info on private channels still doesn't seem to show the correct number.
rocket chat version used: 5.1.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the users.info request with the extra rooms field and the channels.counters request for the logged-in user on Rocket.Chat 5.1.0. Compare unread counters for regular and private rooms and investigate whether permissions affect the results. Done means the API returns correct per-room unread counts or clearly documents the limitation.
