   > Note that the orange line is the step of PeriodicImpulse output. Plus, the 
"overall" watermark is the minimum timestamp of all. It's more a visual effect. 
The downstream (BigQuery write, etc) watermark (can be shown in other lines in 
your screenshot) isn't affected, which would control when window gets fired. 
There fore this is more a visual effect and not affecting semantics of 
downstream main input branch.
   
   Thank you for the update and taking the time to reproduce.
   
   The reason why I raised this issue was because the dataflow job metric, 
`dataflow.googleapis.com/job/data_watermark_age`, now is tracking the periodic 
impulse because I believe this metric reports the max watermark age of data 
that is awaiting processing. Since our streaming job writes to many different 
bigquery sinks, having the single job metric was helpful for monitoring and 
alerting. But upgrading to v2.67.0+ breaks the monitoring/alerting since the 
job's watermark age is now representative of the periodic impulse.
