On June 10, 2025, Meta made changes that affected how data is fetched for the Facebook Ads data source.
 

First, queries that include both the "Reach" metric and breakdown dimensions (like "Gender", "Country", "Placement", and others) are limited to the last 13 months. Meta changed this to improve API performance.


Second, was a change to how some attribution settings are handled, to help reduce discrepancies between the API and the Ads Manager. 

  • Action report times are automatically selected by the API, which means users don't need to select this setting for the query. The Supermetrics setting "Report time action stats" no longer needs to be selected.
  • Unified attribution is always enabled, so the Supermetrics setting "Disable unified attribution setting" no longer works.

More details about the changes can be found in our support article.

 

Next steps
 

For the Reach change:

If you are splitting the "Reach" metric with breakdown dimensions, you may need to update the date range of the query to be 13 months or less. Otherwise, you will see an error message starting June 10, 2025. 
 

For the attribution settings changes:

You no longer need to use the "Report time action stats" setting, as the Meta API handles this automatically. It's removed from the available query settings, and for any queries that have it selected, the setting is ignored.
 

You can no longer use the "Disable unified attribution setting" option, as the Meta API automatically selects this based on your Ad Set level settings. It's removed from the available query settings, and for queries that have it selected, the setting is ignored.

I just came across this while running a report, as I couldn’t understand what was wrong.

I understand the changes, but I’m not getting the output described in the above message and I’m not sure why that is.

Today (24 July 2025) I tried to pull a report of reach by country from the dates of 11 June 2024 to 3 July 2024. 11 June is more than 13 months ago. But I didn’t get an error message - instead I got a column that is entirely blank. No zeroes, just blank all the way down. And I don’t understand why - the start of my date range falls outside the 13 months, but I should still be getting everything after 24 June 2024, as that is within the 13-month window. So why is my report just blank?


Hi ​@larissag 

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed response. Due to holidays our team has been quiet. I  just wanted to follow up. I understand you're seeing a blank column when you pull your report. It sounds like you're trying to pull data from June 11, 2024, to July 3, 2024, and expecting to see data from June 24, 2024, onward, since that falls within the 13-month window. It's unusual that you aren't getting an error message or any data for the valid dates.

Has this issue persisted? If so, please submit a ticket to our support team. When you do, be sure to include the exact dates you are using and a screenshot of the blank column you are seeing. They will be able to investigate this further and find out exactly what's going on.😇
