To maximize responsiveness when processing incoming metric data, Splunk Observability Cloud limits the number of :term:`metric time series` (MTS) processed in a signal (single plot line) on a chart, detector, or navigator. If the total number of time series for the metric specified in your signal exceeds this limit, Splunk Observability Cloud displays a message at the top of the chart, detector, or navigator. This message notifies you that the processed data reflects only a subset of the time series in the data.

To ensure that your charts and detectors are processing all the time series in the data, apply as many filters as necessary to make the MTS number less than the maximum.
