#61 WTF Google?! GA4’s Data API quotas are breaking things!

Daniel Perry-Reed•2 December 2022•33 min listen

Dan and Dara are back, and this week are discussing the recent update from Google Analytics where they are now enforcing their Data API quotas. Since 7th November 2022, Looker Studio reports that connect to Google Analytics 4 data are subject to GA4 Data API quotas. Reports that exceed these quotas will break, and Dan is more than annoyed...

Quote of the episode from Dan: "This is probably the biggest single negative impact they've done ever since they've rolled out Google Analytics 4."

Quote of the episode from Dara: "It feels like a bit of a backward step because one of the biggest benefits I think when GA4 was announced was the fact that it was so much less restricted."
