Comparing these two numbers doesn't tell much.
You need to compare between "Your death penalty has reached x points" messages to figure out at first glance how much a death costs.
Here, your DP increased by 462,501 points only:
(4,625,000-1,688,098)-2,474,401 = 462,501
Which leads me to the conclusion that was your 10th successive death.
Edit:
I concede the message is not very well worded for an easy understanding. It should be more like "Your maximum death penalty has reached 4,625,000 points, of which you have already recovered 1,688,098 points."
Or, alternatively, the first message in your picture should read "2,474,401 points out of 4,162,500 points are now remaining of your death penalty" (thus keeping a clear track of the maximum your DP had reached at previous death)
