Active Metrics: Active metrics represent the maximum number of active time series with values inserted during a given time of day.

Metrics Per Minute: The rate at which metrics are being sent, measured in metrics per minute.

Usage Percentage: A percentage representing your current Metrics data usage in comparison to your plan limits.
