Google AdSense has warned of temporary delays due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
In particular, we are talking about the fact that at present the service cannot quickly check all sites. A message about this appeared in the AdSense console of some publishers.

How widespread this problem is and what percentage of publishers it affects is currently unclear.
As a reminder, earlier this month it became known that AdSense will remove the Percentage of Ad Requests Filled feature.
