It's Google's search engine who hides referral data relating to searches performed over SSL. It hides it from Google Analytics and any other analytics software you may use. There are some workarounds, but none of them is perfect: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/unlock-keyword-not-provided/
You can try Semruch and Ahrefs also, and see what they know about your website's organic traffic.

You cannot see current day, as far as I am aware. Same as in GWC. The only thing I have found is local stats from your hosting company or use the Google Analytics plugin if you are using WP, then at least you can have basic stats on Today if you want them.

Try the plugin (if you use WP) or check what stats your host offers, things like awstats show current day.

No analytics will show those data. Beside GA, I prefer super user friendly Clicky and old school Statcounter.
Nope, SSL encrypted searches on Google and lot on Bing mean whatever they sell you on NOBODY has the data. A lot of companies trying to give you keywords related to what your site is ranking for, but it is just an estimate and NEVER accurate.

Ok this is my case.
I buy traffic from a guy who promote my website on reddit by my own URL shortening service.
It means he post my URLshorting links on reddit and when people click on that they will go to my money website.
I want to know how many of clicks are really from reddit, or if he is cheating and sending traffic from bots or buy bulk/skimmed traffic
The GA shows most of people from reddit as Direct and I dont know why

The shortening service is not passing the referral properly as most shortening services don't do. This is common problem.
However if you log in to the service you use, you should be able to see the statistics they collect. Most services actually collect stats on visits.

I try to stay away from Google's products as much as possible.
Big fan of russian Yandex Metrica.
If you are using shortening service, they most likely have their own analytics in place. Bit.ly has it. Or Pretty Links WordPress plugin also.
So check that instead of GA.
