Description

Right now we keep registered metrics for ever.
We need a mechanism to make sure that this does not happen.

For instance, we could have our own register logic based on Weak / GC.
Or we could have a wrapper over our counter dealing with unregistering.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the metric registration logic and the counter wrapper, then inspect how registered metrics are retained and when their owners become unreachable. Done means metrics are no longer kept forever, with coverage for the chosen cleanup behavior.
