In one of my dashboards I show number of requests in last hour. I use increase function but it gives wrong results when data is missing:

As you can see status count for "200" shows 1 but increase shows 0. The value of first sample of that series is 1 therefore "increase" extrapolates previous missing samples to be also 1 therefore calculates the increase to be zero. Is there any better way to write this simple query?

It makes more sense to ask questions like this on the prometheus-users mailing list rather than in a GitHub issue. On the mailing list, more people are available to potentially respond to your question, and the whole community can benefit from the answers provided.
