> What happens when I do rate(metricsX[5m]) but only 1 min of data is 
present?

rate() takes the first and last point within the given time window, and 
calculates the rate between them.  So: as long as there are at least two 
data points in the window(*), you'll get a result.  If not, you'll get no 
result.

(*) And the second is higher than the first, since rate works with counters.
