So they reported they saved $8 billion after discovering it was really $8 million? I'm not sure that's better.

  No, they were the ones who found that someone entered $8B in the system, asked them to change it to $8M. They never reported saving $8B in their own savings for this program. The numbers they used are tied into the systems so it only updates with the system.

    DOGE did claim $8B in savings on their own system on Monday. That's the whole article is about. There's even a screenshot. The $8B -> $8M change was made in Federal Procurement System on January 22nd. So if DOGE is who found the issue in the procurement system originally, that means they lied about saving $8B weeks after they discovered it was only for $8M.
