Backing up Google Universal Analytics (UA) -> BigQuery

[mla]

Very new to all this.

I've configured the open-source Airbyte with source of Google Analytics (UA) and destination BigQuery. Connections both confirmed to work.

I saw that the Google Analytics UA connector is deprecated now, but what I'm trying to do is backup our old Google UA data from the last several years.

Should this be possible? I'm not sure what to put for "Replication Start Date". If I put something like 2019-01-01, will it sync things incrementally? Or if not, how do I do that while managing the daily API call limits?

I had a successful sync with the replication date of 2023-10-13 but that's b/c there is no data ;) I've tried 2023-07-01 (last day of UA?) and 2019-01-01 and both runs eventually died. One of them a lots of errors in the console output about API limit reached.

Thanks for any pointers.
