+## Limitations
+Cumulative metrics are currently under active development and have the following limitations:
+
+1. You can only use the [`metric_time` dimension](/docs/build/dimensions#time) to check cumulative metrics. If you don't use `metric_time` in the query, the cumulative metric will return incorrect results because it won't perform the time spine join. This means you cannot reference time dimensions other than the `metric_time` in the query.
+2. If you use `metric_time` in your query filter but don't include "start_time" and "end_time," cumulative metrics will left-censor the input data. For example, if you query a cumulative metric with a 7-day window with the filter `{{ TimeDimension('metric_time') }} BETWEEN '2023-08-15' AND '2023-08-30' `, the values for `2023-08-15` to `2023-08-20` return missing or incomplete data. This is because we apply the `metric_time` filter to the aggregation input. To avoid this, you must use `start_time` and `end_time` in the query filter.

 To use BigQuery as your data platform, time dimensions columns need to be in the datetime data type. If they are stored in another type, you can cast them to datetime using the `expr` property. Time dimensions are used to group metrics by different levels of time, such as day, week, month, quarter, and year. MetricFlow supports these granularities, which can be specified using the `time_granularity` parameter.

-Time has additional parameters specified under the `type_params` section. When you query one or more metrics in MetricFlow using the CLI, the default time dimension for a single metric is the primary time dimension, which you can refer to as `metric_time` or use the dimensions' name.

 You can use multiple time groups in separate metrics. For example, the `users_created` metric uses `created_at`, and the `users_deleted` metric uses `deleted_at`:
