Crucially, it might not necessarily be related to the use of Japanese characters. It could be something related to the structure or syntax of your… Read more

It seems like the error you are encountering is related to a network issue when trying to connect to the GA4 analytics API. To resolve this issue, you can try setting the GrpcAdapter property of the BetaAnalyticsDataClientBuilder to use the REST HTTP/1.1 transport protocol. Here is a code snippet showing how to do this:
