There was a problem hiding this comment.
This new path mutates decoded metrics immediately before OTLP encoding, but the commit adds no test exercising it. Add coverage showing that the default retains all samples, a configured cutoff removes only older data points, and empty/boundary cases remain valid; this repository explicitly requires tests for behavior changes in encoder paths.

When the configured duration exceeds the current wall-clock time—such as on a host whose clock is near the Unix epoch, or with a valid roughly 57–68 year duration—the unsigned subtraction underflows and produces an expiration near UINT64_MAX. cmt_expire() then removes every data point rather than retaining all timestamps newer than the intended pre-epoch cutoff, so this calculation should clamp the expiration to zero.

The logic is crystal-clear but we need to add unit tests/integration tests.
So, could you add runtime test(s) for Otel plugin and integration test(s) as well?

When ctx->cutoff_threshold is large enough that threshold_ns exceeds the current monotonic clock value (e.g. near the Unix epoch or with a very large configured duration), the subtraction underflows and sets expiration near UINT64_MAX, causing cmt_expire() to drop all data points. Clamp to zero instead. Signed-off-by: Florian <florian.bezannier@hotmail.fr>
Tests that data points older than the cutoff threshold are expired and that the underflow guard (threshold_ns > now → expiration = 0) prevents cmt_expire from dropping all data on very large thresholds. Signed-off-by: Florian <florian.bezannier@hotmail.fr>

Document and test the inclusive cutoff boundary.
otel_metrics_apply_cutoff() passes now - cut_off_time to cmt_expire(). cmt_map_metrics_expire() removes samples only when timestamp < expiration, so a sample exactly at the cutoff boundary is retained. Document the cutoff unit, that 0 disables filtering, and that equality is retained. Add a deterministic regression test for this boundary in test_opentelemetry_metrics_cutoff().

Verify the retained sample, not only the sample count.
A regression that removes "fresh" and retains "stale" still passes this assertion. Assert the remaining metric label or value so the test verifies the required expiration behavior.
