Metrics behavior is a bit strange compared to a few months ago.

It used to be the case that when you did

platform metrics -1 you would get a list of all the containers last metrics items:

| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | app                 | 27.9% | 38.4%    | 53.7%  | 5.4%     | 10.8%  | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | app--messenger      | 1.3%  | 7.2%     | 26.9%  | 37.6%    | 3.8%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | redirectionio-agent | 1.1%  | 31.1%    | 3.3%   | 0.1%     | 6.0%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | files               | 0.3%  | 31.3%    | 3.2%   | 0.1%     | 0.7%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | mysqldb             | 1.6%  | 135.4%   | 40.4%  | 0.1%     | 0.5%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | rediscache          | 3.3%  | 29.8%    |        |          | 1.5%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | redissession        | 2.5%  | 7.4%     | 6.0%   | 0.1%     | 1.7%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | solrsearch          | 0.3%  | 63.6%    | 11.4%  | 0.8%     | 4.6%   | 0.0%          |
| 2026-04-22T09:55:00+00:00 | router              | 0.3%  | 8.7%     |        |          | 2.8%   | 0.0%          |

However, these days, more often than not, containers are missing:

| 2026-04-22T09:57:00+00:00 | mysqldb             | 1.9%  | 135.4%   | 40.4%  | 0.1%     | 0.5%   | 0.0%          |

This is because metrics is not waiting on all container metrics and the last (which is what you are asking with -1) , is rarely complete.

Can we solve this on the cli end? As in, wait until the full list is available?
Alternatively, give us a -2 to get the second to last metric?
