Increase monitoring metrics resolution retention time on views of 1min & 5mins
The speed at which usable monitoring metrics data (1m, 5m) is purged and reduced to 1hr is way too quick.
After 1hr, the ability to analyze these metrics that are crucial to investigating a performance issue were lost and hindered the root cause analysis.
I would suggest that 1m or at least 5m resolution metrics be retained for at least a week before being purged.

I fully agree.
If we have an issue on Friday evening, we can't analyse it anymore on Monday morning.
If we want to compare load tests, we very often can't because the last run was more than 48 hours ago.I understand it's not free to store the data for longer, but we are absolutely willing to pay for the ability to store metrics for a longer period.
