    Sure, I can break that down a little bit more.
    Setting debug_mode to true essentially helps you see more detailed data in GA4’s debug_view. It’s like turning on a flashlight in a dark room — it helps you see all the details you wouldn’t normally see. And, this information would also show up on the Realtime Report in GA4.

    But, the tricky part here is that it doesn’t directly help with excluding specific users. For that, you would need to create a unique trigger and remove it from every GA4 trigger in use. Now, this isn’t a quick fix. It’s gonna take some time and effort. Plus, at the moment, this is the only workaround until Google hopefully comes up with an easier way to do it!
