Check daily user sessions

I need today’s user session count to decide whether to pause the paid search budget. Give me the sessions for today up to now, the same number for yesterday at this time, and a short note if data is delayed. Confirm you used the same view and that real-time filters were not applied.

Before I act on today’s sessions, make the report actionable: show cumulative sessions by hour, compare each hour to the same hour yesterday, and highlight any hour that is down more than 20%. If there’s a data-latency warning, call it out at the top and suggest whether to wait or to adjust bids now.

This morning sessions dropped sharply at 10am and I’m about to cut bids, but I don’t know if the drop is real or a tracking outage after a tag change. I’ve not changed campaign settings. Which two checks will confirm whether bids should be adjusted, and what immediate message should I send to the paid team?

I keep altering paid search bids based on noisy intra-day session swings and it costs us consistency. What rule or habit should I adopt to avoid knee-jerk budget moves while still catching real traffic drops quickly?
