   Also, I want to ask what do you want to describe the counter? We don't support counter at the backend, so, users need to understand, when they should use this. 
   The point of this is if the user really wants a single value keeps increasing, they could request a counter, right? Such as, in a scenario, set up a counter for the number of order transactions, use `rate`(`counter`) to display the increase rate, or just show the latest total amount. How should we deal with this?
