- 2The test is broken, because max can never exceed p99 by much
- 3Most users waited around 9 seconds for a response

Correct answer: A few rare outliers; most users don't see them, but find their cause
Explanation
Max is a single worst value. It can come from one GC pause or retry. Check how often it happens and whether it correlates with something.
