Okay, so either Deno's OpenTelemetry metric “http.server.active_requests” (docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamen) is actually cumulative over the lifetime of the process, or I have found the explanation for why I can't get the Encyclia server to behave.

Next question is what I could be doing wrong. 🤔 All it does is “deno run” and everything that doesn't time out seems to return what it should.

(The middle of the graph is where I restarted Deno twice.)

Line graph showing "http_server_active_requests" over a 9 hour duration. It starts at 0, climbs to 5000 almost in a slow straight line over 3 hours, then drops back down to 0, makes a tiny, quick bump up to 100 and back down to 0, only to start climbing again, slightly slower, to 3000 over the course of about 3.5 hours
