The sum_over_time() function in Prometheus gives you a way to aggregate counter resets, gauge fluctuations, and histogram samples across specific time windows. Instead of seeing point-in-time values, you get the cumulative total of all data points within your chosen range—useful for calculating totals from rate data, tracking accumulated errors, or understanding resource consumption patterns over custom intervals.
