Hello im trying to set a quota for the limit cpu usage per process.

If i set 2000milicpus limit to a project when i try to start a pod with a limit of 100milicpus it will give me the message saying i am resquesting a limit of 2100milicpus and it wont start.

From what i ve seen this only happens with cpu limit. Reservation works fine

Forget this. Istio side car was starting with 2000 mili on limit. That was causing the 2000 + 100 on the pod
