Hello, I discovered a bug in the design of this metric. The bug is documented here: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/11805. We need to include time the producer spends waiting on topic metadata into the total blocked time. But to do this we would need to add a new producer metric that tracks the total time spent blocked on metadata. I've implemented this in a patch here: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/11805
I'm hoping I can just update this KIP to include the new producer metric.
