"Other" metrics are out of proportion on local Kind cluster

[raymundovr]

What happened?

I've been running Kepler via a Kind cluster on my development laptop for the last couple of months. In recent days, I have discovered that the metrics, obtained via Prometheus, were displaying energy information (Watts) out of proportion. After taking a look I have noticed that the "other" counter are showing extremely large numbers and, due to the way that these are calculated, assigning it to the energy consumption of my deployments.

See images:

What did you expect to happen?

The metrics were more close to real deployment consumption.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Unfortunately I don't have precise information on this. Cannot determine when and how it started, my Prometheus metrics only go as far as last boot.

Anything else we need to know?
