 ## Unreleased
 
+* [Meter.Tags](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.metrics.meter.tags?view=net-9.0)
+  will now be considered when resolving the SDK metric to update when
+  measurements are recorded. Meters with the same name and different tags will
+  now lead to unique metrics.
