Steep drop in sessions—doesn't match any other reporting tool
I'm reviewing my Journey analytics for the last month and noticed that on September 15th, my sessions experienced a drop of almost 50% from where my traffic was. That reduction has continued every day since.
My earnings haven't dropped at all. If anything, my earnings per day have slightly gone up since that happened.
When this has happened in the past, it's been because of a Google algorithm update or maybe seasonal content dropping, but I've looked into Google Analytics, Search Console, and reporting from my host, and all three dashboards are showing the same thing—that my sessions have gone up by roughly 15% per day despite Grow/Journey now reporting a 70-80% drop.
Does anyone know why this is happening? It's so odd to me that my Journey earnings seem to be tracking with what I'm seeing in GA4, but the sessions are grossly undercounted.

Same here, my visits are constant, but this anomaly started on Sep 14th or 15th - sessions are 4 times less than previously, but "session RPM" is 4 times bigger, so the earnings are the same as before. I've been searching for discussions or announcements about this since then. No idea what's going on.
Normally sessions are in the 400-600 range. Now they are in the 80-100 range.
Session RPM is now between 120-250, where before it was about 30.
