Description of problem:

On our MCE-only regression environment, we are seeing a high resource usage on the console pods that is causing the console to be slow. There are only a few managed clusters on this environment (one hive, a few imported via kubeconfig and discovery)

$ kubectl top po console-mce-console-d5dbdbb47-7l5nz -n multicluster-engine
NAME                                  CPU(cores)   MEMORY(bytes)
console-mce-console-d5dbdbb47-7l5nz   1251m        2325Mi

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.7.0-DOWNANDBACK-2024-10-18-21-09-24

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install mce
2. observe high resource usage on console pods
3. install ACM on top, notice the console pods are stable again

Actual results:

Expected results:

Additional info:

After installing ACM, we can see the pod usage is stabilized again:

$ kubectl top po console-mce-console-69758df966-99d8j -n multicluster-engine
