It also may return fractional results for time series with integer data points. See more details at https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/3746 .

I'd suggest trying MetricsQL <https://victoriametrics.github.io/MetricsQL.html> instead - it should return the expected result from increase() function for your case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
