Here's a draft of the docs for OTel resource attribute promotion. @zhehao-grafana could you please review and determine what additional information users need to know? @aknuds1 and @jesusvazquez could you please review for technical accuracy and provide missing information on how users can update the list of attributes automatically assigned as labels? Thank you! |

| Some of these labels are mutually exclusive. If you don't need a particular label, you can aggregate it using Adaptive Metrics. For more information about Adaptive Metrics, refer to [Reduce metrics costs via Adaptive Metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/cost-management-and-billing/adaptive-telemetry/adaptive-metrics/). |

Does the note refer to the list of resource attributes above (as opposed to labels)? Do you have examples of mutually exclusive ones? Not sure how to interpret the note.
If you are referring to resource attributes, why not avoid promoting them instead of aggregating the resulting labels away?

Good catch, they are resource attributes. I actually think this note might add more confusion than clarity, and I'm going to remove it.
