The Play Console counts fewer testers than Peerbeta

The Play Console's count of testers can lag behind, and Google doesn't say by how long. Wait for Peerbeta's eligibility date, which keeps a day of margin, before you apply.

What you see

Peerbeta shows 12 testers or more with their days, but the Play Console counts fewer, or doesn't show 14 days yet.

Why

The console's counter can lag behind what testers actually did. Google doesn't document how long this delay can last, so nobody can promise when the console catches up.

What to do

  1. Wait for the eligibility date shown on your test: it adds one day of margin to the 14 days of the 12th tester.
  2. Look at the console again the next day before you apply.
  3. Keep a dated screenshot of the console's count and of your Peerbeta testers list.
  4. If the console still counts fewer than 12 testers well after the eligibility date, write to us from Help with both screenshots.

Applying a day later costs little. Applying a day too early can cost you a new round of testing.

What Peerbeta does

When the test is over but the eligibility date isn't reached yet, the diagnosis tells you to wait for it before you apply.
