Hello,  
How can we display a metric showing Requests per [timeframe] with a Metric Lens?

In older Kibana versions this was possible:

It's not a derivative, nor a counter\_rate but rather the average number of records in a given fixed time frame.

This isn't possible with Lens at the moment - this is the feature request tracking it: [[Lens] Time scaling without date histogram · Issue #79656 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/79656)

For this kind of visualization, it makes sense to stick with agg based visualizations for the time being.
