Getting Data In

Restrict search time window for metric index

I set the "Restrict search time range" in the role configuration to 3 days, now for the event index, Splunk only returns 3 days of data, base on the latest time user selected. but for metric search(mstats), it still returns data for a longer period(base on user's selection), wonder if the restriction only works for event index? or is there any other way I could restrict the search window for metric search?
