Increase in Network Out Bytes After AKS Upgrade to 1.29.x

I am upgrading my AKS cluster from version 1.27.x to 1.29.x. The upgrade process involves updating the control plane first, then creating new node pools with the same configuration as the old ones but with the newer version. After that, I drain and delete the old node pools.

After following this procedure for all node pools, I've noticed that the network out bytes are significantly higher in the new node pools compared to the old ones, and this increase persists even a week after the upgrade. I need to understand why this is happening.
