Description:
The signalfx backend limits the number of allowed dimension to 36 https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/metrics-and-metadata/metric-names.html#dimension-name-and-value-standards
If a datapoint has more than 36 dimensions, signalfx ingest drops the datapoint as invalid without any feedback to the user.
