You can solve this issue by editing the evemtp-exporter-gke workload and adding the parameter cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict": "true" to your pods. Or you can try to upgrade your GKE to the 1.22 version, which has a fix to this issue. Also, you can find more information about the No scale down reasons in this link .

I have added recommended annotation to all my default name space pods (which are managed by our trough YAML file) but the notification is appears on the gke cluster Panel.
