-### OpenTelemetry [_opentelemetry]
-
-Head-based sampling is implemented directly in the APM agents and SDKs. The sample rate must be propagated between services and the managed intake service in order to produce accurate metrics.
-
-OpenTelemetry offers multiple samplers. However, most samplers do not propagate the sample rate. This results in inaccurate span-based metrics, like APM throughput, latency, and error metrics.
-
-For accurate span-based metrics when using head-based sampling with OpenTelemetry, you must use a [consistent probability sampler](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/trace/tracestate-probability-sampling/). These samplers propagate the sample rate between services and the managed intake service, resulting in accurate metrics.
-
-::::{note}
-OpenTelemetry does not offer consistent probability samplers in all languages. OpenTelemetry users should consider using tail-based sampling instead.
-
-Refer to the documentation of your favorite OpenTelemetry agent or SDK for more information on the availability of consistent probability samplers.

-### OpenTelemetry with tail-based sampling [_opentelemetry_with_tail_based_sampling]
-
-Tail-based sampling is implemented entirely in APM Server, and will work with traces sent by either Elastic APM agents or OpenTelemetry SDKs.
-
-Due to [OpenTelemetry tail-based sampling limitations](/solutions/observability/apm/limitations.md#apm-open-telemetry-tbs) when using [tailsamplingprocessor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/tailsamplingprocessor), we recommend using APM Server tail-based sampling instead.
-
 ### Tail-based sampling performance and requirements [_tail_based_sampling_performance_and_requirements]
 
 Tail-based sampling (TBS), by definition, requires storing events locally temporarily, such that they can be retrieved and forwarded when a sampling decision is made.
