My U-blox NEO-6M Compatible GPS Module is saying it is receiving 90 satellites

Hi All, im using a U-blox NEO-6M Compatible GPS Module with a ESP32 project but im getting satellite number count of 90 satellites. I know this shouldn’t be the case but wondering if anyone has experienced this, why and how to get a correct sat number report. Thanks in advance
