What are you trying to achieve?

Limiting the length of metric attributes is problematic, because it can load to duplicates.

Resource attributes don't have this problem however.
You only need a couple of attributes to identify a service (e.g. service.name, service.instance.id)

For the rest of the attributes, duplicates are not an issue.
