Hi there, **Kibana version** : **Elasticsearch version** : 8.1.3 **APM Server version** : 8.1.3 **APM Agent language and version** : Version: 8.1.2 .Net **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**: So I'm using a histogram instrument to capture the api call's duration in milliseconds, which could be i.e. 54000ms, but the value I can see in the metric explorer/dashboard are capped at 1000, so is this value something we can change / modify? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/0/e0187de4bb2998b01caabd0f0f8e8b0a9261fbf1.png) Remember there is a moment I can see the expected value when hovering on the visualization, but then not anymore, so not sure what I'm missing or should set up correctly? Thanks ---
