+# A brief description of the change.  Surround your text with quotes ("") if it needs to start with a backtick (`).
+note: Stop emitting duplicate `httpcheck.tls.cert_remaining` data points by removing the redundant pre-timing TLS block; the post-timing block (a few lines below) is the single source that retains endpoint/issuer/commonName/sans labels.

+# Mandatory: One or more tracking issues related to the change. You can use the PR number here if no issue exists.
