Understanding Lookback Window in Google Analytics 4 Connector

Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the functionality of the lookback window in the Google Analytics 4 connector, specifically regarding data inclusion beyond the specified window.


Question

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to understand the lookback window in the Google Analytics 4 connector. My understanding is that if I set the lookback window to 7 days and I load data on September 7th, I should only see data from September 1st and earlier—nothing after September 1st should be included.
However, I’m still seeing data from September 6th, even though the window should have cut off at September 1st. Am I misunderstanding how the lookback window is supposed to work, or is this an issue with the connector?
Any clarification would be appreciated!
