    Hey! The thing about the Google Analytics 4 BigQuery exporter is that it doesn’t have a backfilling option. This means it won’t automatically pull the historical data beyond the point when you set it up. So right now you’ll only see the data from the last few days because that’s when you connected it.

    But, don’t lose hope! There’s a manual way to bring in your past 8 months’ data from GA4 to BigQuery. An article from the site OptimizeSmart breaks down the steps for you. Here’s the [link](https://www.optimizesmart.com/how-to-backfill-ga4-data-in-bigquery/) to it. By following the steps, you should be able to load that historical data. Hope this helps!
