Overlays currently open showing data for the current month. Not sure if that would be the expected behavior, but imho it should show the current selected date and period instead.

The current behavior is on purpose, for cases such as:

  • looking at old data, like 6 months old, would likely show a wrong overlay (the design may have changed, content changes, etc.). -> Overlay is focused on "Fresh data" since it's so tied to the website design.
  • looking at large datasets, where overlay data may be slow to fetch. -> By showing Current month we minimise risk of loading too much data and the report failing

Hope this clarifies
