trackMetric not showing up in Application Insights

I have an issue where I'm trying to add a new metric, but it's not showing up in my Application Insights metrics in the Azure Portal.

The example below describes issue where I'm trying to track a new metric called "Number of times asked" inside a bot dialog and increment it by 1 whenever a user reaches the dialog. For this example, timesAsked is reset to 0 whenever the server restarts:

var appInsights = require('applicationinsights');
var telemetryModule = require('./telemetry-module.js');
appInsights.setup(process.env.APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY).start();
var appInsightsClient = new appInsights.TelemetryClient();
var timesAsked = 0;

bot.dialog('Greeting', session => {
    session.endDialog('Hi there!');

    appInsightsClient.trackEvent({ name: 'Greeting', properties: session.message.text });
    appInsightsClient.trackMetric({name: 'Number of times asked', properties: timesAsked++});

}).triggerAction({
   matches: /^hi/i 
});

Shouldn't this show up under Custom inside my Applications Insights resource?

The only thing showing up here is duration. I've seen people having the similar issue a few years ago where their metrics did not show up in the Metrics Explorer before 5 days had passed. Is this still the case?

Based on my test, it takes about 10 minutes to show up my custom metric under the Azure Portal.

So, If you're expecting some metrics that haven't appeared yet, wait 5-10 mins and click Refresh on the top.
