A BigQuery-backed report displays “some items on the page have not been updated” beside its native “Data last updated” footer. Tables, scorecards and a bar chart visibly render without an obvious component-level error.
We tested this sequence entirely in View mode:
- Used Refresh data once and waited for rendering to complete. The warning disappeared and the footer timestamp advanced.
- Performed one normal browser reload and waited for rendering to complete. The warning returned beside that same timestamp.
- No editing, paused-update actions, filter changes or date changes occurred between refresh and reload. Displayed values and source-capture information remained unchanged.
Earlier, temporarily removing a suspected bar chart and opening a fresh saved View did not clear the warning. The chart was restored. Updates had previously been paused during editing, but this latest test involved no editing or pause/resume actions.
The inspected BigQuery jobs completed without errors, although we understand this does not establish every component’s freshness.
Questions:
- What specifically triggers this footer warning?
- Is there a supported way to identify the affected component or data source?
- Could cached results or retained session state explain this behavior?
- What minimally disruptive diagnostic would distinguish expected freshness behavior from a report issue?
