<b>Q: I still have an old Universal Analytics property. Can I get my historical data out, or is it gone?</b>

A: The UA interface and API are shut down, so live access is gone, but exports may still exist.
— If you exported earlier, check your destination first (a BigQuery dataset, Looker Studio extracts, or saved CSVs).
— If you set up a BigQuery export before sunset, that data persists in your project independent of UA.

Going forward, never rely on the GA UI as your archive: in GA4, set up BigQuery export now via Admin → Product Links → BigQuery, so this never repeats.

TL;DR: UA is offline; recover from prior exports/BigQuery, and link GA4 to BigQuery so you own raw data.
