Google Ads Connector missing Video Metrics (Views, CPV, VTR) – Data not fetching

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with the native Google Ads connector in Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio). Suddenly, specific video campaign metrics have stopped fetching entirely.

  • Affected Metrics: Views, Avg. CPV (Cost Per View), and VTR (View-Through Rate).

  • The Issue: These fields are either showing up as blank/null in my tables, or returning an error indicating the data cannot be fetched from the source.

Steps I’ve already tried to troubleshoot:

  1. Refreshed fields in the data source credentials.

  2. Re-authenticated the Google Ads connector.

  3. Confirmed that the underlying Google Ads account does have active video campaigns with plenty of view and CPV data for the selected date range.

  4. Created a brand-new test report to see if the issue was isolated, but the metrics remain broken there as well.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar API or schema sync issue with video metrics this week?

If any Google Product Experts or engineers are monitoring this, could you please flag this as a potential bug with the connector pipeline? Any advice or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
