i'm trying to plot a counter metric in bars, but it does not work how i would expect it.
i would _think_ that having a counter aggregated every 60 seconds with aggregation set to "increment" would show how many times that counter was incremented in 60 seconds, but it seems to be... much more random and i cannot make sense of it.

here i am trying to count invocations by certain source ids, each one has been called once per minute, but the bar sometimes jumps to 2, but often shows the values at just 0, whereas it should be 1 at the minimum

this is the configuration that i have for it, am i doing something wrong here?

Your data is aggregated on the SDK and sent with the timestamp when export request made, It could be possible that aggregation happened for the prev into current minute export call.

there had been more than the 4 increments shown here, which makes me think that's not it
