What do you mean?

Venus has already received its fair share of probes, the Venera missions, some weighted upwards of five tons

They did many different types of measurements, and lasted from one to two hours before their batteries running out, some atmospheric probes lasted days

I've read that when one of these probes hits the atmosphere it's a very sudden transition and they hit 32G.
