- If the user specifies an invalid timeout in the request URL, the request will be aborted with an HTTP 400.

* Fix erroneous FailedSync and FailedMount events being periodically and indefinitely posted on Pods after kubelet is restarted ([#44781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44781), [@wongma7](https://github.com/wongma7))

  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
  determines the outcome. ([#115747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115747), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))

*   kubectl `top node` now sorts by name and `top pod` sorts by namespace. Fixed a bug where results were inconsistently sorted. ([#53560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53560),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
