Hey! We just updated to version 3.6 and I'm testing out the new time series feature. However, I can't seem to get the time series to work for any of my 17 currently running experiments. Adding example screenshots to 🧵. 1. Screenshot 1: An experiment that has been running since 10.04.25. It just says
No time series data available for this metric
. Why? Is there a minimum time required for the feature to be available? 2. Screenshot 2: An experiment that has been running since 14.02.25. It gives me chart, but the only data point is from today even though it's been running for 3 months. Why? Is this a bug? 🤔

These are just some examples, but these problems are consistent across my experiments. Main problem is only one data point for the time series that do seem to work (i.e. case 2 presented above).

Sorry for missing this, but the time series will only go back so far (to the oldest experiment update and as far back as March 2025). More info here: https://docs.growthbook.io/app/experiment-time-series#why-does-the-time-series-only-go-back-so-far

Thanks @strong-mouse-55694! Doesn't fully add up though, because although I now get a time series in my experiments it doesn't go back to the oldest experiment update. We have multiple experiments starting before and after March so as I understand it all of those should have time series data from late March. All of those experiments have their first experiment update at the launch date. What does seem to occur though is that the time series starts once we updated to the new version of Growthbook which we did on May 9th (when I first wrote this message). And that's also fine, but maybe the documentation needs to be updated as I suppose this will apply to more users. Or is there a way to get time series data from late March available?

Thanks for the follow up. I suspect you're right. Are you self-hosted or on GrowthBook Cloud?

Same to you! I had to forward your question so just forwarding the reply:
We’re self hosting the latest (or close to) image from docker hub 👇
https://hub.docker.com/r/growthbook/growthbook
So I guess we should be up to date?

Which tag do you use on docker (is it a versioned release like 3.x.x)?

Hey @strong-mouse-55694! I forwarded and got these three messages in reply:
Currently running the following docker build
Copy code
git-09a80ff
Which is this 👇
https://hub.docker.com/layers/growthbook/growthbook/git-09a80ff/images/sha256-d998abeb1e4037a035e4d0f3fdf1edf5c65384cc7b3569da342359a92c728032
So we run a specific git-hash, and not a version. We do this due to the incident where GB pushed two different code version to a docker-tag, which messed up our deployment 😄 So I don’t trust them anymore
So, the commit we run is far into
3.6.0
with some more changes on top.
We basically run the code exactly how it was present at this commit
https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/commit/09a80ffa2bba4f62a5918ad11e301a47e959ea3c
Does that clarify things?
