Changed

• ⚠️ Breaking Change: go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric now applies a default cardinality limit of 2000 to comply with the Metrics SDK specification recommendation. New attribute sets are dropped when the cardinality limit is reached. The measurement of these sets are aggregated into a special attribute set containing attribute.Bool("otel.metric.overflow", true).
