Use the Retention report with Streak mode: 1. Open Reports → Retention. 2. Set Retention Type so that the birth event and return event are the same specific action you care about (e.g. “Played Game” as both A and B). 3. Under Retention Criteria, choose Streak mode. This “counts unique users doing consecutive actions across time intervals,” e.g. “played a game for 5 consecutive days since sign-up.” [Retention criteria] 4. Set: - Time unit = Day - Measurement = Unique Users - Streak length = 3 days (3 consecutive days) 5. Set the date range to Last 30 days so you’re only considering users whose streak occurred in that window. [Date range]This will give you the count of users who achieved a 3‑day consecutive streak of that action at some point within the last 30 days.

The knowledge sources only state that “Streak mode” is meant to count users doing consecutive actions (e.g. “played a game for 5 consecutive days”) but they do not show or describe a specific UI control labeled “Streak length” or where it appears. [Retention criteria]All I can say with certainty from the docs is: - You enable Streak mode under Retention Criteria in the Retention report. - It’s used together with a time unit (e.g. days) and a measurement like Unique Users to answer questions such as “How many new users have a wordle streak for 5 days or 10 days?” [Retention criteria]The exact UI location or label for configuring the streak length (e.g. “3 days”) is not documented in the provided sources.
