Really fair critique regarding the snapshot approach. You're right optimizing limits based on a single point in time is dangerous for bursty workloads the need 8GB for 10 seconds scenario.
The intent of this script isn't to replace long-term metric analysis like Prometheus/Datadog trends, but to act as a smoke test for gross over-provisioning, the dev who requested 16GB for a sidecar that has flatlined at 100MB for weeks.
You make a great point about the hostile framing of the word waste. I definitely don't want to encourage OOM risks. I'll update the readme to clarify that this delta represents potential capacity to investigate rather than guaranteed waste.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown on the safety buffer nuances.
