Documentation Review Complete ✅

I've reviewed this PR which adds a new FAQ entry about the discrepancy between custom rate queries and the Services dashboard.

---

Summary

Overall Assessment: The content is technically accurate and well-explained. The FAQ addresses a common user confusion about why custom queries don't match the Services dashboard values. I found only one minor formatting issue.

Documentation Review

✅ Strengths

• Technical accuracy: The explanation correctly identifies that the Services dashboard filters to show only top-level operations, while direct queries to signoz_calls_total include all operations (nested/child operations)
• Clear structure: Good use of Q&A format with collapsible detailed explanation
• Helpful cross-references: Links to both the APM Metrics dashboard template and the APM metrics guide are appropriate and verified to be working
• Good explanation flow: Progresses logically from problem → understanding → solution

Issues Found

Low Priority:

• Missing newline at end of file (see inline comment on line 41)

---

Technical Verification

I verified the technical claims against SigNoz documentation:

• ✅ signoz_calls_total metric correctly described (confirmed in Guide to APM metrics)
• ✅ Top-level operations filtering is accurate (confirmed in APM Metrics Dashboard and ClickHouse traces query docs)
• ✅ Both referenced links are valid and load correctly

Recommendation

Approve with minor fix: The content is solid and ready to merge after fixing the newline issue. This is a helpful addition to the troubleshooting FAQs.
