If your most recent weeks look light and then grow later, that is expected.

## Platforms report on a delay

Stores and streaming services send us statements on their own schedule, and it is slow: royalty data typically arrives **about 3 to 4 months** after the plays happen, and for some platforms it can take **up to around a year and a half**. Your dashboard keeps itself current as each new statement lands, so recent periods fill in over time.

## "Latest full month" on Home

The stats card on your Home page shows the most recent month with almost-complete data, precisely so you are looking at a reliable number rather than a half-reported one.

## What this means for you

- Do not judge a new release by its first weeks in the dashboard. Give the data time to arrive.
- Older months are stable. Recent periods are still catching up.
- The footer shows when stats were last updated.

Nothing is lost in the meantime. Every stream is counted once its statement is processed.
