[PR] Add dag.schedule_overdue_seconds metric for Dags held back by max_active_runs [airflow]
Abdel39 opened a new pull request, #74854:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/74854
related: #73686
When a time-scheduled Dag is at `max_active_runs`, `DagModel.dags_needing_dagruns` filters it out (`exceeds_max_non_backfill == false`), so its next run is never created. Nothing is queued, `scheduler.dagruns.queued` (#70013) stays at zero, and nothing tells you the Dag is falling behind its schedule until someone notices missing intervals.
This adds a `dag.schedule_overdue_seconds` gauge, tagged by `dag_id`: seconds since the Dag's `next_dagrun_create_after`, emitted only while the Dag is due and held back by `max_active_runs`.
- Emitted on the existing `[scheduler] dagrun_metrics_interval` timer, as a separate read-only query. It does not touch `dags_needing_dagruns`, which is row-locked and `LIMIT`ed.
- Only Dags in the blocked state are emitted, so the series count is bounded by the number of blocked Dags, not the number of Dags. A healthy deployment emits nothing.
- Asset-gated Dags are excluded, since `next_dagrun_create_after` alone does not make them due.
We've run the same metric as a scheduler patch on our Airflow staging deployments. It was the signal teams needed to decide when to raise `max_active_runs` for scheduled Dags, where queued-run counts showed nothing.

Congratulations on your first Pull Request and welcome to the Apache Airflow community! If you have any issues or are unsure about any anything please check our [Contributors' Guide](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/README.rst)
Here are some useful points:
- Pay attention to the quality of your code (ruff, mypy and type annotations). Our [prek-hooks]( https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/08_static_code_checks.rst#prerequisites-for-prek-hooks) will help you with that.
- In case of a new feature add useful documentation (in docstrings or in `docs/` directory). Adding a new operator? Check this short [guide](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow-core/docs/howto/custom-operator.rst) Consider adding an example Dag that shows how users should use it.
- Consider using [Breeze environment](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/breeze/doc/README.rst) for testing locally, it's a heavy docker but it ships with a working Airflow and a lot of integrations.
- Be patient and persistent. It might take some time to get a review or get the final approval from Committers.
- Please follow [ASF Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct) for all communication including (but not limited to) comments on Pull Requests, Mailing list and Slack.
