In simpler terms, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) handles sessions differently from previous versions. In GA4, if a user visits your website, leaves, and then comes back through a different channel within the same session, GA4 classifies it as one session but counts both traffic sources. Therefore, when you add up the sessions from all the individual channels, the number might be higher compared to the total sessions count.
