Google Universal Analytics Showing Double Audience Results

Universal Analytics Bug

Since February 17th, there are a lot of us having an issue with Universal Analytics. It is showing double the results under Audience, and then it corrects itself the next day, usually around 10am or so. For those of us that run reports in the early AM this is starting to become a very frustrating problem. I can confirm this isn’t happening in classic analytics properties.

We would love to hear from people that are having the same issue. If you are please post in one of the two topics below. The more people that report this issue means the sooner someone at Google will realize there is a bug.

April Update

Someone at Google finally realized there was a problem. You have probably noticed this small banner over the last week or so in your GA account. At least someone is now fixing the issue.
