By default, VictoriaMetrics returns labels seen during the last day starting at 00:00 UTC. An arbitrary time range can be set via `start` and `end` query args.
The specified `start..end` time range is rounded to day granularity because of performance optimization concerns.

VictoriaMetrics accepts `limit` query arg for `/api/v1/series` handlers for limiting the number of returned entries. For example, the query to `/api/v1/series?limit=5` returns a sample of up to 5 series, while ignoring the rest. If the provided `limit` value exceeds the corresponding `-search.maxSeries` command-line flag values, then limits specified in the command-line flags are used.
