Discovered in our CI tests beginning October 17th https://prow.ci.openshift.org/job-history/gs/test-platform-results/logs/periodic-ci-openshift-cluster-api-provider-agent-master-e2e-ai-operator-ztp-capi-periodic

• Note: we had to put in a workaround: directly patching the nodepool so tests may succeed starting from Oct 22
