[v1.34] Server-side batching
[v1.34] Metrics updates

| on. For example if the granularity is "shard", you could aggregate all "shard" | ||
| metrics of the same "class" to obtain a class metrics, or aggregate all metrics | ||
| to obtain the metric for the entire Weaviate instance. | ||
| Be aware that metrics do not follow the semantic versioning guidelines of other Weaviate features. Weaviate's main APIs are stable and breaking changes are extremely rare. Metrics, however, have shorter feature lifecycles. It can sometimes be necessary to introduce an incompatible change or entirely remove a metric, for example, because the cost of observing a specific metric in production has grown too high. As a result, it is possible that a Weaviate minor release contains a breaking change for the Monitoring system. If so, it will be clearly highlighted in the release notes. |

Given this is a warning not to use, imo this could be a separate :::caution::: admonition imho.

True, I didn't want to overuse the admonitions, but it is important enough
