Starting about an hour or two ago Google dropped the average position metric filter from the Google Search Console performance report. This seems to be a bug and Google’s Daniel Waisberg is looking into the issue. Do not panic, I really think this will come back soon.
Here is a great screenshot from Marie Haynes of it going away:
Here is what the average position box should look like:
Again, this started less than two hours ago and Google is checking into it:

Google has now confirmed it is a bug and will fix it very soon:
It’s not a bug, it’s a UI glitch.
Getting fixed in 3… 2… 1…— Daniel Waisberg (@danielwaisberg) April 28, 2022
Sorry! This is a bug, and the team is working on resolving it as quickly as possible. We’ll be back!

So this is everyone – it is widespread – and not just you.
The data is still available in the Google Search Console API, so I think this is just a user interface bug in Search Console. Which makes me wonder – did Google launch something new we should be looking for?
