Active Time Series Count	Per Tier Limits	Number of active time series that received at least one data point in the last hour.
Read Rate	Per Tier Limits	Number of datapoints retrieved from the database per second.
New Series Over 24 Hours (churn rate)	<= Active Time Series Count	Number of new series created in 24 hours. High churn rate leads to higher resource consumption.
Concurrent Requests per Token	<= 600	Maximum concurrent requests per access token. It is recommended to create separate tokens for different clients and environments. This can be adjusted via support.
