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

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.

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.
