Search Console and Analytics
Connecting, disconnecting, refreshing and choosing the right property.
GSC and GA are independent connections. They do not draw from the wallet / subscription limit. You need access to the right Google property.

Keeping the connection permanent
WRS stores a Google refresh token and renews access automatically on sync. If the Google Cloud Consent Screen is in Testing, Google itself cancels that token after about 7 days — clicks then freeze on the last successful date until someone clicks “Add / refresh access” and signs in again. For a lasting connection, an admin sets Consent Screen to In production, then renews access once from Traffic.
Questions & answers
Do I need both connections?
No. GSC is for SERP performance; GA is for site behavior. For the full picture use both.
Why does GSC stop about a week after connecting?
Most often the Google Cloud OAuth app is in Testing — the refresh token expires in ~7 days. Fix: Consent Screen → In production, then “Add / refresh access” in Traffic. The app already requests offline access; the limit is Google’s, not WRS’s.
Does disconnecting delete the history?
It stops future refreshes; the existing snapshots may remain visible.
Why do I not see the property?
The selected Google account does not have access, or you are looking for a different type of property.
