Why google tag manager event is not being reflected in GA 4 report?

Viewed 1115

I have configured a GA 4 custom event in GTM via tag but I can't see that event firing anywhere in realtime report or anywhere else except in debug timeline of GA 4 console and in tag assistant of GTM.

As you can see in below screenshot of tag assistant , My custom event for GA4 is "checkout_confirm" which is being configured via checkout_confirm tag which is firing once checkout is being done and seems working fine with params as intended

In analytics dashboard when I go and try to find that event data (even after 24 hours), It shows nothing but it is showing fired when I go to debug view of GA4 as you can see in second screenshot

Also in screenshot 3 as shown , google analytics debugger extension in browser console is showing that Google analytics is collecting data.

Please guide me , where am I missing , I am stucked from days . Kindly help me.

Events uploaded in Debug Mode are filtered out from standard reports. See "Also, data captured while Debug Mode is running will be filtered out of your other reports so that it does not artificially inflate your metrics (in other words, no more separate GA properties for production and staging)." from Validating Google Analytics 4 with Debug Mode.

You'll need to remove the parameters like _dbg=1 that is labeling this event as debug, and then, this checkout_confirm will show up in realtime and checkout_confirm's event-detail reports.

I don't know how to help you unfortunately. I experienced the same problems. Some tags/events are being displayed and some are not. My only guess is that they have to be triggered a certain amount of times before they'll be displayed in all events because all events there have at least 50 clicks?
