How to detect:

Insufficient CPU or memory resources allocated to worker or server pods leads to overwhelm, especially under heavy workloads. This can also result from misconfiguration such as incorrect limits or requests in Kubernetes configuration

Recommended action:

Scale the pods to handle workload demands. Review and adjust Kubernetes resource requests and limits. Optimize Prefect configuration for the specific workload. Ensure resource allocation matches workload characteristics
