Just got throttled. "Query limit exceeded." Classic.

They advertise "high cardinality" but the query limit feels like a hidden SLO. The per-minute cap is a problem for any real incident response where you need to re-run or refine queries under pressure.

Are people just dropping to the Explore API directly? Splitting dashboards? Or is this where the "pro" pricing tier magically appears?

Trust but verify.
