If a metric Insight report in Mixpanel suddenly shows "no update" or stops displaying stats on a Board when it previously did, there are a few possible explanations based on the knowledge sources: 1. Board Filters and Date Ranges: Boards can have their own date ranges and filters that temporarily override the settings of individual reports when viewed on the Board. If these Board-wide filters or date ranges are set in a way that excludes relevant data (e.g., a date range with no events), the report may appear empty or show "no update." The underlying report itself is not changed—only the data displayed on the Board is affected. To resolve this, check if any Board-wide filters or date ranges have been applied and adjust them as needed. If you want these settings to persist for other users, remember to click "Save" after making changes see more.2. Data Delays or Ingestion Issues: If your data is coming from mobile SDKs or is being imported, there can be delays in data ingestion. For example, data from the past five days may not be fully available yet, which could cause reports to temporarily show no data see more.3. Filters or Breakdowns: If filters or breakdowns are applied (either at the Board or report level) that result in no matching data, the report will not display stats. Removing or adjusting filters can help identify if this is the cause see more.4. Data Discrepancies or Changes in Data: If there have been changes in event tracking, property values, or if data was deleted or not sent, this could also result in reports showing no data. It's a good practice to remove all filters and breakdowns to check if the underlying data is still present, then reapply them to isolate the issue see more.If none of these scenarios apply, and the issue persists, it may be due to a temporary system issue or a change in your data pipeline. In such cases, reviewing recent changes to your tracking implementation or reaching out to Mixpanel support may be necessary.In summary, the most common reasons for a report to suddenly show "no update" on a Board are changes to Board-wide filters/date ranges, data ingestion delays, or filters that exclude all data. Double-check these settings to diagnose the issue.
