Yea that was my thought too. I like the idea in principle, but these magic thresholds can really bite you. It claims to be P(99), probably off some historical measurement, but that's only true if it's dynamically changing. Maybe this could periodically query the OTEL provider for the real number to at least limit the time window of something bad happening.
