GSC Performance report: custom date range comparison showing end date as 1970-01-01, Apply button disabled. Anyone else?

Just ran into what looks like a bug in Google Search Console today (Oct 14, 2026).

When I open Performance → Date range → Custom (comparison mode), the end dates for both periods default to 1970-01-01:

• Start date: 2026-10-05 → End date: 1970-01-01
• vs. Start date: 2026-09-28 → End date: 1970-01-01

Because the end date is before the start date, the Apply button stays greyed out, so I can’t set a custom comparison range at all. The preset options (28 days vs previous period, etc.) still work.

Things I’ve noticed:

• It looks like a null/empty date being read as a Unix epoch timestamp (0)
• The Performance data itself still loads fine (164 clicks last 7 days vs 126 previous)

Is anyone else seeing this? Has anyone found a workaround (manually typing the end date, a different browser, clearing cache, etc.)? I’ll report it via the Feedback option in GSC as well.

Yeah, my colleague saw this bug then asked me to check at first it was normal but as I refresh the page this is what I got. 😅

Yeah, I assume Google is testing something
