Alex, I know that I'm responding to this thread very late. (I don't work for Google, btw.) We encountered the same delay issue in our campaigns. To rectify the problem, we added a tracking system called Matomo (which has a free community edition adn was formerly called Piwik) so that we could create event pixels in our customer flow and then track those to see where issues were and fix those, as well as do split tests, etc. This gives you an instant dashboard to see events live. Eventually, I coded a custom replacement to Matomo for our company using PHP and MySQL which suited our needs even better than Matomo. However, we use the google offline conversions API because we found that using Javascript tracking pixels back to Google was not as accurate as using the API, and because then we could upload upsells that occur in our call center separate from a customer's ad click flow (just as long as we stored their gclid in our database for later use in that upsell flow). Yes, there's a 6 hour delay for what Google sees and optimizes on, but our campaigns operate fine and we can use the Matomo (and now our custom code) for looking at the data differently and live.
