odf-4.14
Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log
snippests):
It is a known issue that 100s of csi-clones of a single source can cause exponentially slower clone performance due to clone/flattening limitations. The ODF recommendation is to update docs to recommend a VolumeSnapshot cloning method for this type of scale, however there should be some alert for users if the cluster has exceeded these cloning limits since currently the only symptom may be extremely slow clone performance.
More background here: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-41845
Version of all relevant components (if applicable):
4.x
Does this issue impact your ability to continue to work with the product
(please explain in detail what is the user impact)?
Without an alert, users do not understand why clones may take many hours to complete
Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge?
Working to update docs for VolumeSnapshot recommendation, but it is not the default clone strategy
Rate from 1 - 5 the complexity of the scenario you performed that caused this
bug (1 - very simple, 5 - very complex)?

Can this issue reproduce from the UI?
Y
If this is a regression, please provide more details to justify this:
N
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create source pvc
2. Create 200+ csi-clones
Actual results:
Once clone limit is reached it can take exponentially longer to complete
Expected results:
Users are alerted of this limit and advised to use VolumeSnapshot
