Unfortunately, counter metrics can't be persisted due to dynamic nature of 
node labels, and storage restrictions in our case.

Query results for our use case don't have to be completely accurate. We can 
work with +/-10% variance. I realized that increase() may not be suitable, 
specially for summed-up Table data, but I'm wondering if max_over_time() 
may be more suitable?

Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
