• Only occurs with some Analytics accounts and not others
• User has full administrator access at Analytics level
• Occurs with no plugins active other than Site Kit via Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin (evident from video above).
• One previous similar topic opened, possibly a conflict with another Analytics plugin
• Previous similar issue reported, also on NGinx server, since resolved
• No existing Analytics snippet exists on site
