Hello,

I used the Keyword plan flow to Generate historical metrics.

I called keywordPlanCampaigns:mutate with this an input:
[{"create":{"keyword_plan_network":"GOOGLE_SEARCH","geo_targets":[{"geo_target_constant":"geoTargetConstants/1021048"}],"keyword_plan":"customers/xxx/keywordPlans/xxx","name":"campaign xxx","language_constants":[],"cpc_bid_micros":"1000000"}}]

Geotarget location is 1021048 - Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.

For this input, I got 40500 Search volume. That search volume looks strange. I tried the same setup for location 2840 -  the whole  United States and I got the same Search volume.

It looks like you have some fallback to the location - United States.

I tried the same setup at Keyword planner and got different results.

Why did this happen and how can I fix it?

Thank you
