According to the OID repository, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 is sysUpTimeInstance 
and doesn't seem to have anything to do with -- what I assume to be -- 
interface inbound octets.

Link - OID repository - 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = {iso(1) 
identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) system(1) 
sysUpTime(3) sysUpTimeInstance(0)}
  - https://oid-base.com/get/1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

It seems as if ifInOctets is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10

Link - OID repository - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 = {iso(1) 
identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) 
interfaces(2) ifTable(2) ifEntry(1) ifInOctets(10)}
  - https://oid-base.com/get/1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10

Are you looking for the system's up time or the number of octets 
received on interfaces?
