Yeah, maybe we should make it more clearly, What do you think of
the commit below:

In scenarios where containers are frequently created and deleted,
a large number of error logs maybe generated. The logs only show
which node is about to go over the max limit, not the node which
resource request failed. As misc.event has provided relevant
information, maybe we can remove this log.
