Hi, I have a question about Pod Usage in AKS Insights being able to go above 100%.

What could be the case of that, is that just a kind of process overhead error? Because K8s shouldn't be able to allocate more than the limit to a pod.

I would also like to confirm, how exactly is that metric calculated, and against which limits (request or normal).

    @Isacenoks, Ilja Based on the analysis done by the PG team, its possible to show a value > 100 % if denominator aka the container limit is less than the usage value.
