## Investigation Brief
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.
## Evidence To Check
Verify the share from `usage.services`. Cross-reference `requestsByRouteCache`, `middlewareCount`, external API span counts, and third-party tracing (`tracesSampleRate=1`).
## Do Not Recommend When
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.
## Verification
Name the share, upstream drivers, and concrete remediation per driver, not generic "reduce events".
