Observability Events is the metered SKU under Observability Plus. When the current bill shows a large Observability Events share, event volume is the lever. Reduce upstream: lift cache hit rate, narrow middleware matchers, and reduce unnecessary custom-span cardinality.
Verify the share from usage.services. Cross-reference requestsByRouteCache, middlewareCount, external API span counts, and third-party tracing (tracesSampleRate=1).
Skip below 15% share. Skip when cache hit rate is already >90% across hot routes — the lever is elsewhere. Do not propose sampling unless the specific metered signal has a documented sampling control.
Name the share, upstream drivers, and concrete remediation per driver, not generic “reduce events”.
