Report There are currently two identified latency metrics that are incorrectly implemented as gauges keda_scaler_metrics_latency_seconds keda_internal_scale_loop_latency_seconds These originate from #5174 (which was rebased and merged through #5687). They deprecated keda_scaler_metrics_latency and keda_internal_scale_loop_latency, which were also gauges, but at the same time lacked the _seconds suffix recommended as best practice for naming prometheus metrics. During that PR, I should have also changed it from a gauge to a histogram but I didn't realize this at the time. There are other metrics reported by keda-operator that relate to some form of latency. They come from vendored dependencies or golang core, all use histograms. A few examples I found are here: controller_runtime_reconcile_time_seconds controller_runtime_webhook_latency_seconds workqueue_work_duration_seconds workqueue_queue_duration_seconds go_sched_latencies_seconds keda_internal_metricsservice_grpc_server_handling
