Consul Connect Topology UI Visualization, bug or misconfiguration?

Hi all, we configured Prometheus metrics integration with the Consul UI today using this guide: Connect - UI Visualization | Consul by HashiCorp

However, we’re seeing some strange behavior in the UI (sorry about dark mode!):

From the images, you can see that the metrics are only displayed for a service if it’s “in-focus”. Clicking on one service box causes the other to display “No metrics available”, even though it has metrics available, which can be viewed by clicking back to it.

We’re on Consul 1.9.1, wondering if this is due to a bug or a misconfiguration/misunderstanding on our part about how metrics are retrieved.
