Description
Bug description
We are a PostHog cloud user. We've noticed some of our historical metrics (as basic as daily active users based on Unique page views) fluctuate with time. We know this because we extract those data points weekly for our own overall tracking & reporting. The data will change (by small amounts < 1%) when we come back to it after a week.
Happy to provide any details, but would prefer not to post our metrics publicly.
Environment
- PostHog Cloud US, project ID: [33405]
