Access and monitor real-time performance metrics to understand device behavior and application bottlenecks.

Adaptive Performance tracks several performance metrics and updates them every frame. To access these metrics, use the [`IPerformanceStatus`](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/iperformancestatus.md) interface.
