Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I have added the adot layer in the lambda

adotInstrumentation: {
      layerVersion: AdotLayerVersion.fromJavaScriptSdkLayerVersion(AdotLambdaLayerJavaScriptSdkVersion.LATEST),
      execWrapper: AdotLambdaExecWrapper.REGULAR_HANDLER,
    },

everything else is just default

I'm able to see tracing in xray so the setup is correct

I then add the metrics collector in the source code of the lambda

import { metrics } from '@opentelemetry/api';
const meter = metrics.getMeter('default');

// other code

// in the handler
        const counter = meter.createCounter('mymetric');
        counter.add(1, { success: true });

I can see surrounding logs around this code so the code has bee executed.

In cloudwatch, I do not see this metric.

Steps to reproduce If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
