Google Search Console Performance Report Showing Almost No Data Today

Google Search Console's performance report seems to have a bug where it is showing almost zero data for today. I can replicate this across numerous Search Console properties, so maybe something is stuck with Search Console right now.

I have seen some complaints on X and on this site and I wanted to quickly report, it is not just you. That you can relax a bit and know that this seems to be impacting everyone.

I should note, Google seems to be showing data for today by default now. So this might not be a "bug" but rather a "feature" where Google is showing the data it sees for today, which is not much yet, since it is the morning. Google confirmed it is a bug, story updated below.

This seems unrelated to the Google Search unconfirmed ranking update from this weekend.

Here is what I see for some of the Search Console profiles I have access to:

Google Search Console Performance Report Bug

Google Search Console Performance Report Bug2

Google Search Console Performance Report Bug3

Google Search Console Performance Report Bug3

So if you are seeing this, you are 100% not alone.

This might be a "feature" in that Google may be showing more real time data, as Frank Sandtmann notes on Mastodon. I mean, it is showing data for today by default.

Google has not yet commented on this issue.

Forum discussion at X.

Update: Google's John Mueller confirmed this is a bug, he said on LinkedIn, "It's an issue on our side - the team is looking into it. Thanks to everyone for noticing & letting us know, this wasn't meant to replace your traditional morning wake-up beverage :-)."

Note: This story was originally published at 6:05 am ET but was updated at 7:30am ET with Google's statement. So I updated the timestamp of this story.

Update 2: At around 1pm ET Google fixed the reports to no longer show data from today, by default - so this is no longer an issue:
