Many sites are seeing zero or little real-time traffic reported in GA4.

Why we care. If you are noticing zero or a lot less real-time visitors via Google Analytics, you are not alone. This is a bug with Google and Google hopes to resolve the issue soon.

Fixed now. At around 11:35pm ET, it seems like it is now resolving and was resolved by 12pm ET.
