I figured it might be easier to move this convo to the PR. Related to question 3 from [here](https://github.com/prometheus-community/stackdriver_exporter/issues/116#issuecomment-1181646723), I think this might be an issue for slower moving metrics....

I had started a naive implementation [here](https://github.com/prometheus-community/stackdriver_exporter/compare/master...kgeckhart:keckhart/track-delta-metrics-between-scrapes). I believe in order to produce an accurate value I will need to update the collector to consider time since last scrape as...

I'm running, `make build && ./stackdriver_exporter --google.project-id= --monitoring.metrics-type-prefixes='cloudsql.googleapis.com/database' --log.level=debug --monitoring.filters='cloudsql.googleapis.com/database:metadata.user_labels."my-label"="my-value"'` and all of the logged metrics filters...
