Error in scraping bigtable.googleapis.com/server/latencies

[talonx]

This started failing around the 17th Dec 2019 - it was running fine before that date.

We run the exporter using

/opt/stackdriver_exporter/stackdriver_exporter --google.project-id <snipped> --monitoring.metrics-type-prefixes "bigtable.googleapis.com,logging.googleapis.com,compute.googleapis.com/instance/uptime" --stackdriver.http-timeout=45s

We ran it in debug mode, and this is the error it fails with
