FAQ

1. Why can’t I get data from 3 days ago and more recent?

Google takes between 24 – 72 hours to process data which is why it’s possible to get data only from 3 days ago or older.

For Google Analytics, YouTube, or Google My Business, change your date range expression to 3d3 or older.
For Google Search Console, change your date range expression to 4d4 or older.

You may get fresh data from Google Analytics 4 but keep in mind that it might not be the finalized version.
