You have a default CPU limit of 10m, and no explicit CPU limit on the container, but a request larger than the limit. The request must always be less than or equal to the limit. Your pod needs to also set a higher limit, or the limit range needs to not set a default limit.

but this is not obvious behavior since there is min & max set in limit range. This is limits (not min/max) that should be overwritten by pod. limits should be set to requests in this case imho
limit range limits what the user can set, it doesn't perform any mutations other than the defaulting and doesn't claim to. Min/max enforce that pods cannot set higher / lower. The default ensures that if the pod doesn't set a limit it will have one. personally I would remove the default limit, especially at 10m, this will aggressively limit pods. it would be, if the pod set a limit that would be a substantial breaking change, I don't think we could do that short of a v2 API and I'm not sure it would be correct behavior even then. we could make it opt-in, but then, why not just set them to match on the pod to begin with?
