In your case you have a very low scrape interval, 300s. That means that
for your prometheus server, if you query data, you would find some
oddities with the default lookback delta.
When I did look at the issue, I did not notice that you were using
increase. Then, loopback delta does not play a role. Instead, you should
use:
irate(ifHCInOctets{network_key="xxx"}[15m])
which seems a better option.
15 min should ensure there is at least 2 datapoints, and irate will do
the calculation between the last 2 datapoints.
