We recently swapped our metrics to Grafana Cloud and were really surprised (despite being documented) that pricing is based on samples per minute not metrics series. So, for example, if we send a metric every 15s (the Prometheus default) then we get charged as if that were four separate metrics. Support was very helpful explaining everything and they reversed the charge but it still feels weird.

Thanks for the feedback! Agree that this can be made more clear and we will work on that.
We experienced the same thing. Pulled the plug on using the cloud version
