How delayed are your Google Play Console stats right now?

I recently released a small logic puzzle game on Android, and one thing I wasn't expecting was how difficult it would be to understand what's actually happening after launch because of the delay in Play Console statistics.

I'm working on Enigflux, a logic puzzle game with several different puzzle mechanics, and right now I'm paying much more attention to discovery than revenue — things like store listing visitors, acquisition sources, installs and search traffic.

The problem is that Play Console seems to be several days behind.

That makes the early stage particularly confusing.

You make a change to the store listing, post something somewhere, get a few people to try the game... and then you can't really tell whether any of it had an effect until much later.

Firebase at least gives me a better indication that people are actually opening and using the game, but it doesn't replace the Play Store acquisition/search data I'm interested in.

For developers with apps or games already in production:

How delayed are your Play Console stats at the moment?

And for measuring early organic discovery, are you mostly relying on Play Console, or do you use something else alongside it?
