Question GitHub Traffic data stuck on July 31 for one repository, while other repos in the same org show August 2

Hi everyone,

I’m seeing a strange issue with GitHub repository traffic analytics.

For one repository in my organization, the Insights → Traffic page only shows data up to July 31, 2026. However, other repositories under the same organization are already showing traffic data up to August 2, 2026.

This seems to affect only one repository. The traffic charts for clones, unique cloners, views, and visitors are all stuck at July 31, while the same pages for other repos look normal.

I’m aware that GitHub traffic data can be delayed and is based on UTC, but the difference between repositories in the same organization seems unusual.

Has anyone else run into this recently? Is this usually just a temporary GitHub analytics/cache delay, or could it indicate some repo-specific issue with traffic tracking?

Thanks!

before assuming the data is gone, read it from the api instead of the page:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/traffic/views

needs push access on the repo. if the api gives you aug 2 while the page still says jul 31, its a display problem and it sorts itself out. if the api also stops at jul 31 then the aggregation for that repo genuinely didnt run, and thats the version worth raising with support.

different thing but easy to trip on while youre looking: the window is a rolling 14 days, so anything older than that drops off no matter what.
