Agent pitfalls & tips
- Two auth methods: project token for tracking, service account for querying.
- Use /import for server-side event ingestion (more reliable than /track).
- JQL (JavaScript Query Language) for complex custom queries.
- distinct_id is the user identifier — must be consistent across events.
- Mixpanel stores events for 90 days on free plan.
