Prometheus postgres exporter not showing metric with interval time with single quotes - postgresql

Question

I inserted the following postgres query in the queries.yaml file with Labels and metric.
pg_long_running_query_details:
query: "SELECT distinct a.datname as database , a.usename as user , round(extract(epoch from statement_timestamp()) - extract(epoch from a.query_start)) as age FROM pg_stat_activity a JOIN pg_locks l ON l.pid = a.pid WHERE age(statement_timestamp(), query_start) > interval U&'10 minutes' limit 5"
metrics:
- database:
usage: "LABEL"
description: "Name of the database"
- user:
usage: "LABEL"
description: "Name of the user"
- age:
usage: "GAUGE"
description: "The age in seconds"
I would expect pg_long_running_query_details_age metric flowing through prometheus. Not only there is no metric but no errors in the exporter too. The query works perfectly fine in psql cli.
When I remove the interval time, i can see the metric. So i'm guessing, its something to do with the single quotes.
What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?
No metric in the name 'pg_long.*'
