Amazon CloudWatch RDS metrics: NetworkReceiveThroughput, NetworkTransmitThroughput

What did you do?
Opened the AWS RDS Metrics OpenTelemetry instance drilldown dashboard and inspected the Network receive / Network transmit metric cards and time-series panels.
Dashboard: aws_rds_otel-36df60a8-6a6e-4f72-96ce-a3533d24901a.json
Affected panels:
nico-rdsid-card-netrx / nico-rdsid-chart-netrx — Network receive (NetworkReceiveThroughput)nico-rdsid-card-nettx / nico-rdsid-chart-nettx — Network transmit (NetworkTransmitThroughput)
What did you see?
Those panels format values with the Kibana bytes formatter ("format": {"id": "bytes", "params": {"decimals": 1}}), so the UI shows a static size unit such as KB (or MB, etc.).
What did you expect to see?
A rate unit such as KB/s (bytes per second).
These CloudWatch metrics are throughput (bytes/second), not a cumulative byte count. AWS documents NetworkTransmitThroughput as outgoing network traffic in bytes per second (AWS docs; same for receive).
Anything else?
Likely fix: change the Lens column format on the four panels from bytes to a bytes-per-second formatter (e.g. bytesPerSecond, if that is the ID used elsewhere in Kibana Lens field formats), so the displayed unit is KB/s / MB/s rather than KB / MB.
No ingest/pipeline change expected — this is a dashboard formatting bug only.
