##### Choosing the Right Limit for Delta Temporality
601601

602602
Delta metrics reset their aggregation state after every export interval. This
603-
allows for more efficient memory usage based on per-interval needs rather than
604-
entire combinations.
605-
606-
* If all combinations are known ahead of time (as in the fruit example), you can
607-
apply the same calculation as with cumulative temporality.
608-
* However, delta really shines when handling high-cardinality dimensions like
609-
`user_id`, where the set of active values changes over time and only a few are
610-
active at a given interval.
603+
approach enables more efficient memory utilization by focusing on attributes
604+
observed during each interval rather than tracking all possible combinations.
605+
606+
* For scenarios with predictable attribute combinations (as in the fruit
607+
example), you can use the same calculation method as with cumulative
608+
temporality.
609+
* Delta temporality particularly excels when dealing with high-cardinality
610+
dimensions like `user_id`, where the active set changes dynamically over time
611+
and only a subset is active during any given export interval.
