Overview

Describes a time interval:

* Reads: A half-open time interval. It includes the end time but
excludes the start time: `(startTime, endTime]`. The start time
must be specified, must be earlier than the end time, and should be
no older than the data retention period for the metric.
* Writes: A closed time interval. It extends from the start time to the end
time,
and includes both: `[startTime, endTime]`. Valid time intervals
depend on the
[`MetricKind`](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.metricDescriptors#MetricKind)
of the metric value. The end time must not be earlier than the start
time, and the end time must not be more than 25 hours in the past or more
than five minutes in the future.
* For `GAUGE` metrics, the `startTime` value is technically optional; if
  no value is specified, the start time defaults to the value of the
  end time, and the interval represents a single point in time. If both
  start and end times are specified, they must be identical. Such an
  interval is valid only for `GAUGE` metrics, which are point-in-time
  measurements. The end time of a new interval must be at least a
  millisecond after the end time of the previous interval.
* For `DELTA` metrics, the start time and end time must specify a
  non-zero interval, with subsequent points specifying contiguous and
  non-overlapping intervals. For `DELTA` metrics, the start time of
  the next interval must be at least a millisecond after the end time
  of the previous interval.
* For `CUMULATIVE` metrics, the start time and end time must specify a
  non-zero interval, with subsequent points specifying the same
  start time and increasing end times, until an event resets the
  cumulative value to zero and sets a new start time for the following
  points. The new start time must be at least a millisecond after the
  end time of the previous interval.
* The start time of a new interval must be at least a millisecond after
the
  end time of the previous interval because intervals are closed. If the
  start time of a new interval is the same as the end time of the
  previous interval, then data written at the new start time could
  overwrite data written at the previous end time.
