  • Prior 30 days: Displays data from the previous 30 days. For example, if you were viewing the dashboards on March 31st, you would see data from March 1st through March 30th. Dates are based on UTC time.

  • Prior 12 calendar months – Displays monthly data totals (or average EPS or GB per day if applicable) from the last 12 calendar months. For example, if you were viewing the dashboards during the month of October 2023, this option would display data from October 2022 through September 2023.
