KDP old vs new reporting discrepancies

[alhawke]

We must have talked about this before? Don't know. Well, there's the old KDP reports and the new one. Turns out the new Kindle Direct Publishing reports says I sold books yesterday and the old reports only reports nothing. I toggle back and forth because it's unreliable, but over the past year, it's been pretty consistent. Just to let everyone know in case you're running a big sale for data, or watching ad data, this is the first time in a long while I'm seeing a long lag with old KDP reports. It used to happen all the time. Are they finally fully discontinuing the old reports? I hope not 'cause the new KDP reports kinda sucks, imo.

I thought the old reports had been discontinued a long time ago.

Nope, it's still live:

Then again... maybe it isn't. Perhaps that's the issue.

Discontinuing it was always the plan, though. I liked it, too, but I've gotten used to the new one.
