I am struggling with PromQL over an issue dealing with a metric that

Prometheus as a pseudo event tracker and hoping to get some advice on
how to best try and accomplish my goal.
I think this is the fundamental issue you are facing. Prometheus isn't
an event system. It is designed for metrics, which are pretty different
to events. It sounds like you should look at a system like Loki,
Elasticsearch or a general purpose SQL or key/value database, as they
are likely to be a much better fit for you than a timeseries database
and ecosystem that is designed for handling metrics.
