+**Note about Prometheus and samples in the past**
+
+If you are using the exporter with the ElectricityMaps provider, it will return a value for estimated, which will be the most recent one, and another value for the real value, which can be a few hours in the past. Depending on your Prometheus installation, it could be that the metrics that have a timestamp in the past are not accepted, with an error such as this:
+
+`Error on ingesting samples that are too old or are too far into the future`
+
+In that case, you can configure the property `tsdb.outOfOrderTimeWindow` to extend the time window accepted, for example to `3h`.
