March 2016 was the first sign that the things could get better, let's see April 2016. 1st of April is not very promising, with -30% revenue vs last week.

I've had nothing move since early this morning, about 8 hours or so of the same PVs, Clicks, RPM, Earnings, nothing's changed at all for me.

What on earth....does anyone else have a ridiculously lower amount of pageviews and crazy high RPM because of it today?! I've never seen anything like this before. It was I have ~6k impressions when i know ive had much more (as i always do by now, noticeably more) - but my earnings are still about "normal" (in the dumps-ish, as its been for past ~2+ months) - because the RPM is inflated like an insane amount. Since the impressions are so low? What on earth. Atleast the earnings are there but wtf are they doing with the stats...

I thought it was just me, I haven't even got to 500 page views yet, I would normally be at around 2000 at this point of the day

Great to see this. Same thing here. PV have been stuck since early morning. Revenue is still increasing. RPM is stupid high. I was worried I was getting clickbombed until I noticed the PVs were not increasing.

Analytics stats and adsense stats 50% difference, so something is really wrong today. This whole month google playing with us. And the redbar still in my account for like 3+ hrs [i.imgur.com...]

How many other people got a message about page level ads in their account this morning? I'm wondering if this was that something to do with the strange reporting today?

Major red bar and statistics issue today. Active view-ability is at 100% - pageviews massively down and RPM stuck too. Glad I'm not the only one.

Count me in with you guys. Weird stats all around but the one I care most about - revenue - is about 1/2 of what I would expect as of this point in the day. I'm relieved I'm not the only one.
Edit: When I log into my DFP reporting, everything looks normal, including revenue (for today) which is exactly where I would expect it. Definitely an AdSense console issue/delay happening. I imagine things will get unstuck soon enough.

My RPM has been very high and page views stuck very low since early this morning.

Same as azlinda. RPM high, but page views very low, slow drip revenue increases

Yes, Stats are off. It shows nearly half of actual PVs. This is the reason CTR is high, because it counts clicks and not PVs. And eventually it affects the count of RPM, which is falsely high.
Nothing has changed with Ads - Still mostly Banner Ads, no arrows and unrelated to content or interest-based.
What the hell is wrong with Google. There's some major tech changes going on with Adsense.
The only bright part of this is CPC, which is relatively high. However it's pointless since there are much less clicks on Ads.

First 1/2 of the day was promising, second half of day earnings have not updated, and page views have not updated, everything at a complete standstill despite watching my analytic's and seeing lots of visitors throughout. I presume my Page RPM of £7.82 was too much so all activity is now paused = Broken.
* Oh, and I am now seeing the same ad twice on all pages regardless of what type of page I look at. So basically the same advert top and bottom of all pages, this just gets better :)

Yep my stats through AdMob are also stuck. There is a message that says "We are sorry. Some data in this report is delayed. Please try again later. There is no impact on ad serving or payments." Looks like Google has broken something.

The stats look legit (these are the true numbers less the zombie visitors excluded).

Yo adsense, once you fix the analytics bug not showing our huge amounts of impressions....im cool if we can keep this RPM though! Please feel free :)
LOL. I can dream!

The server supposedly holding my stats is obviously on planet Mars, I've added another mind-boggling 4 PVs and amazingly a 100% Action View Viewable.
Question?
Why does the mainstream press not pick-up on these HUGE G FUBARS?
Hands-up all those who "know" today's earnings will be LESS because of this.

Maybe because they're meaningless to anyone who doesn't check stats compulsively?

I try to limit looking at stats to 3 times a day... when I get up, around lunch time, then at 5PM (AEST) to see the close of day figure. Needless to say, I'm not very good at sticking to it :(

I've had a red bar all day. The earnings are so far close to yesterday's. But the PVs and clicks look off and the RPM is really inflated.

Is anyone else seeing a lot of clawbacks today? I don't even know what to call them...the click is there. Then it's gone again. Then it reappears briefly. It's weird, and I hope google gets things sorted out soon.

@Squarix9 I would not trust anything you see reported in Adsense today.
