I'm convinced a data error is causing a 30% drop in views being recorded in YT Studio
I've seen a few other posts here about a recent drop in views over the past four or five days. I've noticed the same on my channel, which has gone from having a consistent 5-6k views a day to now having nearer 3k a day for the past four days.
At first I thought my channel was dead, but then seeing other posts on here caused me to look into it further.
If you look at the Realtime Performance chart on YT Studio I'm noticing a real discrepancy between the Last 60 Minutes and the Last 48 hours charts. Moreover, I'm noticing the most recent hour/two hours not he 48h chart reflecting the accurate Last 60 Minutes data, but then after an hour or two that value gets cut by a third. Take a look at these two screenshots, taken just over an hour apart. The bar for 15:00 - 16:00 initially measured 253 views, but an hour later it was changed to 180.
This has been happening consistently over the past 24 hours since I noticed the pattern, and the higher views that are temporarily recorded are absolutely inline with my channel average. I should also mention my subscriber growth and revenue charts are both absolutely in line with normal values. If my views really had dropped by a third I think I'd expect those charts to also drop.
I'm convinced this is a data issue rather than views dropping across the board, so I guess my question is do I need to report this to YT somehow, or when things like this have happened before are they rectified automatically?
Is anyone else seeing anything similar to this on their accounts?
