`total` is not affected by [counter resets](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#counter) -
it continues to increase monotonically with respect to the previous value.
The counters are most often reset when the application is restarted.
For example:
<img alt="total aggregation counter reset" src="stream-aggregation-check-total-reset.png">
The same behavior will occur when creating or deleting new series in an aggregation group -
`total` will increase monotonically considering the values of the series set.
An example of changing a set of series can be restarting a pod in the Kubernetes.
This changes a label with pod's name in the series, but `total` account for such a scenario and do not reset the state of aggregated metric.
### increase
`increase` returns the increase of input [counters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#counter).
