Why does Delta Drive Analytics only show a few days of history?

\n

Short answer: Analytics is measured once a day and can't be reconstructed backwards, so charts fill in over time. If usage couldn't be read, the screen says so instead of showing an empty drive.

\n

Because the figures come from a measurement taken once a day, and history can't be worked out backwards. The charts fill in as the days pass — we'd rather show a short honest chart than a long invented one.

\n

If a screen couldn't read your usage, it says so; it never draws a failure as an empty drive. Try again later, or use Refresh what's shown from the gear menu.
