This test is just meant to prevent exponential growth in watch requests. Typically when these pop up, the limits just need to be bumped in origin assuming the increase in watches can be traced to a PR. (example: https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/30564)

The increase here is mild, bumping the limits is reasonable, but ideally please provide indication that the increase is understood and not unexplained if possible. (in the pr to origin)
