This isn’t necessarily a glitch, but more of an understanding of how GA4 processes data. When you add extra ‘dimensions’ to your query, GA4 shows totals by each unique combination of dimension values. That means when you request multiple dimensions, the ‘totalUsers’ is split across those dimensions and might appear doubled or more. This is because a user can fall into multiple categories defined by your dimensions. If you want a simple sum of ‘totalUsers’, you should request this metric with fewer dimensions.
