Hi Team

The spent column discrepancies for different dimensions (API reports)
We build a campaign reporting tool, using the Taboola API (among others).
What we are trying to do is to see daily/hourly reports that show campaign/hour breakdown for money spent on Taboola per campaign.
What is important for us for the hourly report is the ability to see campaign results in nearly real-time (let's say with a 1-hour delay - hence we would like to use the campaign_hour_breakdown dimension).
It seems to be working almost fine. However, there are some discrepancies I don't understand. Has anyone experienced such weird behavior?
We use the "Campaign Summary Report" with 3 different dimensions - day, campaign_hour_breakdown, and campaign_breakdown.
I would expect that the sum of the spent column will always be the same regardless of the dimension we use. However, the numbers are slightly different, e.g. I ran three different reports/breakdowns for the same day. Here are the spent sums per each dimension:
- campaign_hour_breakdown: $3,266.07
- day: $3,395.99
- campaign_breakdown: $3,400.41
Can you explain the discrepancy, please?
Also, I have noticed the "last-used-rawdata-update-time" attribute. What is its meaning? To me, it looks like all reports are generated with a certain delay. Does that mean we cannot rely on them for our hourly breakdowns?
Please advise. Thank you.

IS it possible to get actual reporting data without the delay using by_hour_of_day dimension
We are requesting reporting data using the by_hour_of_day dimension. Each start of the hour.
And we found out that the values for that same hour are changing from while to while.
Can you please tell us, when is the best time to request actual reporting data for the hour that passed.
Thanks in advance
