What page is this happening on Copy the URL of the page this issue is happening on.

Describe the bug I have observed that the totalUsers metric is leading to a reduction in values for several other metrics and dimensions. Particularly concerning is the significant impact on recent data, where a large portion of sessionCampaignName dimension values appears to have vanished. I am seeking assistance in understanding and resolving this issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Utilize the totalUsers metric to track user count in the project.
  2. Analyze the impact of the totalUsers metric on other metrics and dimensions.
  3. Specifically, examine the sessionCampaignName dimension values for the most recent days.

Expected behavior When using the totalUsers metric, I expect it to accurately track the number of users without adversely affecting the values of other metrics and dimensions. The sessionCampaignName dimension should retain its data integrity.

  1. Investigate the root cause behind the totalUsers metric's impact on other metrics and dimensions, specifically the sudden disappearance of sessionCampaignName dimension values.
  2. Identify any misconfigurations, data inconsistencies, or potential bugs that may be contributing to this issue.
  3. Offer recommendations or steps to rectify the problem and ensure the accurate representation of all metrics and dimensions, including sessionCampaignName.

This issue severely affects my ability to analyze and make informed decisions based on the data. Your prompt attention and assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
