Analytics update

[A and M Treehouse]

What's up with the analytics not updating their numbers on your videos (at least lately). I have one video, among others, from a few days ago that says 86 views, but when I go to realtime views it says 500 views.

We are new at this going on week 2 and it seems they are 2 days behind, which we all know that, but it's annoying. You being new EVERYTHING MATTERS ha ha, so does anyone know what's going on, or is this just what YouTube to keep the honest man honest.

Nothing has worked for the last few days for earnings and today also my video views have not changed at all, probably just a delay.

Yea I saw stuff about earnings, obviously doesn't concern me. Didn't know if views where jacked up too, thanks!

We've noticed this. It was puzzling seeing our videos stuck at low numbers when others were hitting ~1,000, on investigation it turned out it wasn't because no one liked the video thumbnail or video theme, but it was because the counter was stuck. In realtime we could see lots of views coming in per hour, but the overall counter did not move.

Having the same issue - on quick Google search, it seems it's a known issue affecting thousands of YouTube accounts right now. It *should* unfreeze soon, but there's no timeline for it.

There's also tons of tweets about it! Like.... a TON!

Hell even PSY tweeted that his new music video has been stuck at 25M views for every 2 days now.

The View function can be a little erratic at times, it can be a pain but then I end up telling myself off for watching it instead of making more videos or doing something productive!
Hopefully they fix it soon.
