There is a limit on the total size of all metric names concatenated into a single utf string for indexing metric names. If the 64kb limit is exceeded, the metricdefinitions API and any selection UI in the Azure Portal that lets you choose a metric name will not return new metrics that are emitted after the limit has been hit.

When this happens, reduce the number of metrics you are sending or shorten the length of their names. The limit will reset about a day afterwards. A common pratice that causes the limit to be hit is to encode some variable in the metric name itself. The best way to resolve the situation is to move the variable out of the metric name and into a dimension.
