 * FEATURE: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/single-server-victoriametrics/) and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): add command-line flag `-search.maxDeleteDuration(default 5m)` to limit the duration of the `/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series` call. Previously, the call is limited by `-search.maxQueryDuration`.
 
+* BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/) and [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/): Use `now()` as the real scrape timestamp. Previously, the real scrape timestamp could have a time gap with `now()`, resulting in inaccurate scrape durations for the `vm_promscrape_scrape_duration_seconds` and `scrape_duration_seconds` metrics. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7760). Thanks to @tIGO for reporting.

 ## [v1.109.1](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.109.1)
 
 Released at 2025-01-17
 
 * SECURITY: upgrade base docker image (Alpine) from 3.21.0 to 3.21.2. See [Alpine 3.21.1 release notes](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.21.1-released.html) and [Alpine 3.21.2 release notes](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.18.11-3.19.6-3.20.5-3.21.2-released.html).

 * BUGFIX: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/single-server-victoriametrics/), `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/) and [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): log metric names for signals with unsupported delta temporality on ingestion via [OpenTelemetry protocol for metrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#sending-data-via-opentelemetry). Thanks to @chenlujjj for [the pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/8018).
 * BUGFIX: [Single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/) and [vmselect](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/): fix incorrect behavior of increase, increase_pure, delta caused by [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/8002). This fix reverts to the previous behavior before [v1.109.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/changelog/#v11090). But allows controlling staleness detection for these functions explicitly via `-search.maxStalenessInterval`.
 * BUGFIX: all VictoriaMetrics [enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/) components: remove unnecessary delay before failing if all online verification attempts have failed. This should reduce the time required for the component to proceed if all online verification attempts have failed.
