Google Analytics real time reporting may be off this morning, at least based on a number of reports we are hearing about since earlier this morning. If you are noticing unusually low real-time counts in GA4, you are not alone.

More details. I reported about the issue earlier today on the Search Engine Roundtable, quoting a number of complaints on social:

Seeing this right now. Either the bottom just dropped out on traffic, or it's an Analytics issue.

Looks like GA4 is on a coffee break today! Hope they get back to work soon. Not alone in this!

Google update related? There is some speculation that this might be an unconfirmed Google search update. But I am not sure about that, I do think there are two separate things going on right now.

Google comment. We did reach out to Google for a statement and when/if we hear back, we will add that statement to this story.

Why we care. We just wanted to get this story out there because there are a lot of publishers and site owners who are panicking a bit right now.

Don’t worry just yet, there are tons of complaints about GA4 real time reports being way off and you are not alone.
