PiHole Stats increasing and decreasing erratically

I reconfigured Pi Hole using pihole -r and received just one error with IP addresses although I used the same exact IP’s and settings.on my first run of pihole -d I received three errors relating to IP’s.

Your debug log shows that you have valid IPv4 and IPv6 IP's assigned to the Pi and that Pi-Hole is listening on both IP's using the ethernet interface.

The IPv6 error shown is not a concern per the note that followed the error:

   ^ Please note that you may have more than one IP address listed.
   As long as one of them is green, and it matches what is in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf, there is no need for concern.

   The link to the FAQ is for an issue that sometimes occurs when the IPv6 address changes, which is why we check for it.

Use IPv6 ULA addresses for Pi-hole

Many users have reported that frequently changing IPv6 addresses cause page load to be slow or even prevent from working at all. The issues can be fixed by updating the IPv6 address in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf followed by a run of pihole -g. However, this solution turns out to be very inconvenient since it might be necessary to change the IPv6 address on a regular basis (maybe even multiple times a day). An alternative approach we are currently looking into is the usage of ULA addresses which…

I am also unsure if IPV6 Blocking is enabled.

From your debug log, these lines are contained in your configuration file, so IPv6 blocking is enabled.
