I am seeing a huge click drop (~40%) in google search console since Aug 10 (3.6K -> 3.5K -> 3.2K -> 2.8K -> 2.3K), I see the rank went down as well.

Strangely, the GA4 (traffic source - Google report) the number does not drop at all (4.5K -> 4.3K -> 4.1K -> 3.9K -> 4.1K, normal week-day pattern), my site is an app landing page, I verify the incoming user to the app using app log, confirm there is no drop.

Is the Google search console data recently has issue? Or is there anything I missed? Any one experience the same? Thanks!

​I am wondering if I did something wrong or it's Chatgpt change the model behavior.

Google traffic is stable though. How I can figure out?

ps: I do aware the traffic increase is the ChatGPT branded link change in May 7. What bother me is the traffic dies out since May 21. I did not see any study indicating ChatGPT rollback the branded link.
