Not working for spreadsheets #48

Closed sajuuk111 closed 7 years ago

sajuuk111 commented 7 years ago

Greets, i have been using it at my spreadsheet, but stopped working. I haven't changed anything, it just stopped working. Double checked everything, made a new spreadsheet, used even example one, no. It just stopped working and cant get it to work.

Taken information from there.

This is the one i have used for testing, if you could help, much appreciated.

It appears that the demo instance is hitting its daily free quota limits on AppEngine, which is most likely why you're seeing this. Note that the demo instance is just that.. a demo, no reliability guarantees.

A simple fix is for you to deploy own GAE instance, the free tier should be plenty for most use cases.

thanks for the fast reply! It's working now. Could you tell me what do you mean by "deploy your own GAE instance" by no means i'm a programmer and close to these topics, but if it is an easy thing to do, i will try to get my friends to work on that

@sajuuk111 hey, I explain the issue here https://github.com/vitr/google-analytics-beacon if it's easy for you to follow, get your own instance of the beacon.
