Google Ads Manager data issue under investigation

Google is investigating a data discrepancy in Ad Manager reports and Data Transfer files from May 2, potentially impacting report accuracy for that period.

Google is investigating a data discrepancy issue affecting Google Ad Manager and Data Transfer reports stemming from an incident that began on May 2 at 14:00 UTC.

The details. Users can still access the platforms, but reports for May 2 between 14:00 and 15:00 UTC may be incomplete. A filtration issue appears to have caused some data to be excluded from both Ad Manager reports and Data Transfer files. Discrepancies are possible between the two data sources.

Why we care. Publishers may notice missing or inconsistent data in reports and Data Transfer files generated during a critical one-hour window, potentially affecting revenue tracking and campaign analysis.

What’s next. Google has not confirmed a timeline for resolution but says updates will follow as the investigation continues.
