Google Analytics 4 Connector

Yes, Google Analytics has some inherited quota limits preventing complete data export and analysis:

• Maximum number of hits per property per day: GA4 allows a maximum of 10 million hits per property per day. A hit is defined as any request to the GA4 servers, such as a pageview or event. If you exceed this limit, GA4 may discard some of your data to stay within the quota.
• Maximum number of events per hit: GA4 allows a maximum of 20 custom events per hit. If you exceed this limit, GA4 may discard some of your events to stay within the quota.
• Maximum size of a hit payload: GA4 allows a maximum hit size of 8 KB. If you exceed this limit, GA4 may discard some of your data to stay within the quota.
• Maximum number of user properties per property: GA4 allows a maximum of 25 user properties per property. User properties are custom dimensions that you can use to segment your data. If you exceed this limit, you may need to consolidate or remove some of your user properties.
