Summary: ◀▼

Historical reporting data updates daily or hourly depending on your plan, and reports can switch to weekly refresh after 30 days of no access. Live dashboards and live data metrics update in near-real time, usually within 5–10 seconds, though network speed and ticket volume can affect timing. This helps you know how current your analytics data is for reporting and monitoring.

Historical reporting

The historical reporting refresh interval, how often the data is synced, is either daily or hourly, depending on which plan you have.

  • Daily: Data updates once a day at midnight in the timezone of the account.
  • Hourly: Data updates one hour after the most recent update has finished. The update time is randomized within the hour, and in some cases might take two hours or more to complete. For an example, see It's been more than an hour since my data synced.
Table 1. Data refresh intervals by plan
Plan Refresh interval

Suite Growth Daily
Suite Professional Hourly
Suite Enterprise Hourly
Suite Enterprise Plus Hourly
Any Support plan with Explore Explore Lite Daily
Explore Professional Hourly
Explore Enterprise Hourly
Note: If there are no reports or dashboards accessed for more than 30 days, the data refresh interval is automatically changed to weekly. When at least one report or dashboard is accessed, the data refresh interval is restored to normal. When a scheduled dashboard is sent, it counts as a dashboard being accessed.

Live reporting

The Explore prebuilt live dashboard and live data metrics refresh in near-real time (typically between 5–10 seconds). The actual refresh interval might be affected by other factors like network speed and ticket volume.

Important: The Explore live dashboard is available to users who accessed Explore before May 5, 2026. If you did not access Explore before this date, use the real-time monitoring dashboards for live reports.
