  • When daylight saving time (DST) begins in the Spring, one hour in reporting doesn't display data. When daylight saving time ends in the Fall, there is one hour that contains two hours of data.
  • Ad Manager and Ad Exchange both aggregate statistics continuously, though there might be a delay of up to four hours for data to appear in reports. For Ad Manager, statistics for the previous month are frozen after 4:00 AM on the first day of every month (does not apply to Ad Exchange reporting). Learn more about IAB compliance.

  • Refer to the estimated completion time displayed on screen as you create a query. Remember to limit the date range and number of dimensions and metrics included to reduce processing time.
