# Events are delayed by several minutes

> Dashboard analytics lagging behind? Upstack batches events through the identity resolution pipeline — 2–5 minute delays in reports are normal. The Live Event Stream shows events in near-real-time.

**Likely cause:** This is usually normal. Upstack batches events and processes them through the identity resolution pipeline before they appear in the dashboard. During high-traffic periods, processing may take 2–5 minutes.

**Fix:**

1. Check the **Live Event Stream** — it shows events in near-real-time (within \~60 seconds). If events appear here, the delay is only in aggregated reports and dashboards.
2. If even the Live Event Stream is delayed beyond 5 minutes, check the [Upstack Status Page](https://status.upstackdata.com) for any ongoing incidents.
3. For time-sensitive debugging, use the Live Event Stream rather than aggregated dashboard views.

For the full picture of expected timings, see [How long does it take for events to appear?](/troubleshooting/faq#how-long-does-it-take-for-events-to-appear) in the FAQ.
