OTel and Prometheus have support for exponential histograms: https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2023/exponential-histograms/

Right now the buckets are harcoded and same for all services. Which means if a service is too slow, then the peak is cut-off.

Exponential histograms solve this problem, and we should support those.

I believe we set the exponential histogram flag already for Prometheus, but I think we don't for OTel.
